Today I finished my 3 day rounds of chemo for this cycle. This brings the total cycles to 10 and the total rounds/days I've recieved chemo to 32. This one thing I can say with certainty, I'll glad I am getting a break. Something pretty special happened at the end of my chemo room visit today. All the staff nurses gathered around me as I was getting ready for my departure and sang me an anniversary/congradulations song and gave me a cake. I had a piece after supper and it was very moist ans sweet. My favorite nurse Debbie explained that it would be difficult not to see me but they are glad that they won't see me and wished me all the best and then gave me a big hug. Debbie told me to get my bike ready and to put on many enjoyable and safe miles of rides. I had to fight the tears off. It reallt touched me and Sue. I also met a another new Veteran today that is a rider as well, we agreed to meet up for some rides this coming season, I hope it all comes together he seemed like a very likeable guy.
I got home early afternoon and laid down for a nap so I could get ahead of this chemo fatigue. I woke up and kicked back in the recliner for a bit then had spagetti and meat sauce with asarigus (sp) and applesauce and toasted garlic bread. And the cake, man I ate good and now I'm stuffed. I'll relax for a while pop my night time pills and hit the sack. Three days of chemo taked more out of me than I really care to admit, but a fact is a fact. lol
I hope all is well with all of you
