Three days into my last, hopefully, week of chemo. I am prepared for pretty much all of the side affects but had actually forgotten the chills. I am sitting here with my beautiful quilt made and given to me by the North Ranch Quilters. Thank you so much ladies. Today was #20 out of 33 radiation treatments. When I saw Dr Lee on Monday, he was quite surprised and pleased that I am still not in pain from the radiation. Let's hope it continues this way. Tomorrow I get the chemo pump removed but the port will stay in a couple of months  until I get the all clear. That is a procedure that has to be done in hospital.
I am still trying to stay upbeat although some days are harder than others. The treatments are taking their toll on my energy level and I can't sleep through the night. I do know that I am going to beat this nastiness  and live at least another 20 years. Oh, and I have lost 7-8 pounds. It's a crummy way to lose weight and I won't go into details, just keep buying stock in Imodium.
