Update

Home from the latest round of fun with chemo, and...well, feeling seriously crappy, less said about that the better, ugh. The shift towards 'end of treatment' is really ramping up now, though. My surgeon has now moved me to every six months appointments (though I will likely see him again before that to schedule removal of the port). Since I only have two more rounds of chemo left, my next in person followup with the my oncologist is not for three months. She hugged me at the end of the appointment, and was full of encouraging words. I've been unblinded in the Avastin study, I'm not on it. Good news is that means I don't have to go in for any more infusions after chemo...bad news, I'm not on it. And I now I have an appointment for my first consult with the radiation oncologist, so I'll be shifting over to that office very soon, though it looks like I will get a month long break between the end of chemo and the start of radiation.

I remain more weirded out than celebratory at the moment. I'm very much looking forward to having my life back, and not feeling like utter crap all the time. But I'm not quite there yet, two more weeks of chemo and then radiation left, so it's like I get to deal with the fear of the end of treatment without any of the benefits. I dunno.

I did get my Shiny Things books, finally, and flipped through them a bit while still on Zen's couch, so I'll be back in Motion soon playing around. And thanks to greensilver's amazing vid, Zen and I are now watching West Wing from the beginning (I had seen the first two seasons when they originally aired, Zen hadn't seen any) and falling desperately in love with it. Oh! And yesterday I really wanted a jelly donut, and then I got a jelly donut, and it was awesome in that way where you are having a craving for something and then you get it and it doesn't let you down even a little bit, and you're sitting there going "jelly donuts rule" after a very satisfying eating experience. \o/
