8 down 0 to go.

While chemo 8 was terrible, it's so nice to be done with this phase. Hopefully this will be it. I get scanned sometime near the end of the month or early September. I got really sick on Thursday and threw-up several times. It was horrible. Felt a little better on Friday and went to work. Saturday and Sunday were the usual bad days with nausea and gloppy feeling. Taste buds were non existance and GI track is raw. Also, my low grade fever returned last night. BUT I'M DONE FOR NOW!! AND SO MANY BLESSINGS. No weight loss, I weighed 175 on Thursday; no mouth sores; not too much numbness in hands and feet; I never became sick even though I had neutropenia the entire time; I never missed a treatment. Thank you Lord!!! Thank you everyone for thoughts and prayers. Please continue to pray for complete healing. This is a picture from my senior year in high school...1984. In this picture is a friend who just reconnected with me and sent me an amazing care package. After we both took 1st in state for wrestling, we jumped off a 65 foot tower in the middle of a reservoir in Hawaii. One good thing about illness is it brings old friends back together.
