Just wanted to post a quick note to let you all know that I successfully completed Chemo #5 without too much of a problem. Great news is my counts were good and Dr. Austin very non-chalantly told me that after my next (and final) round, we'll get my port out and move on to radiation. Praise God! I can't begin to tell you how it felt to hear her say that we would get this port out. The port is not that difficult to live with -- it's just a reminder that I'm held captive to this chemo and this illness. As long as I have it, it means they think I'll need more treatment. To be told I can get rid of it, is like telling a lame person to toss away her crutch and walk!
So, now as I'm almost recovered from #5, I anxiously anticipate #6, after which I will recover for a week and then climb Mt. LeConte if all goes well. That will be a God-filled dream for me -a goal that I've carried all these months since I was diagnosed. It's a trip Rick and I make every year -- every year since we've been married anyway. And it's one I wasn't willing to give up for cancer. And Dr. Austin said I should be fine to go. Amen!
More later. Thanks for your continued prayers and support.
