Default All the chemo is done!
Well, a few hours ago I had my fourth and final dose of the chemo! And I feel fine. I have not gotten sick. I'm very shocked, as I had been quite anxious, b/c it seems many people get hit by the sickness between days 3 and 4. Some people also have a delayed reaction - so I am not 1000% out of the woods yet as far as the chemo side effects.

It's now 3:30 here in Baltimore...and about 9pm tonight I am scheduled to go home. Everything went according to schedule.

My "worst" symptom during the treatment was a nasty odd headache. Friday night I also had a bout of vertigo but it wasn't too horrible and I went to sleep.

So, just wanted to update you. In the next few days I can expect my blood counts to drop (white count down to zero)....then a few days after that, I will receive a growth hormone which will stimulate bringing back the immune system and my numbers back up. If all goes well, I will be home in about 2 weeks or so.



Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. I know I did!!!
