Chemo Round 6 ... Last One!

Since I started chemotherapy in November, I have had the date February 21, 2017 circled on my calendar. February 21 would be the day of my last chemotherapy. Just hang in there until February 21, I would think.

I am happy to report, I made it! (Kitty is still hanging in there. :-) )

Love my nurses! 

I'm at a little bit of a loss as to what to say. It is now a few days after the chemo. I still feel sick to my stomach a bit and a little dizzy. But I also feel awesome. To not have to mentally prepare for another round of chemo right now is the most amazing feeling. Thank you to the wonderful staff at UCLA Hematology and Oncology for taking such good care of me. What a wonderful, compassionate group of people.

The after effects of chemo can linger for years. I'm hopeful that all of my side effects will go away. Also, I'm ready for hair again. It's been nice to not have to shave but I'll gladly take that on again for a thick head of hair.

Know what I DO have to prepare for? The CrossFit Open!!! I'm going to attempt the 17.1 workout tomorrow. Dumbbell snatches and burpee box jumps here I come.

I've still got it. Right?
