There’s a Party in Here!*


*Not for the reasons you think

Well, this last chemo has been kicking my ass! Apparently the last one is often the hardest. No shit. I haven’t felt such bone-crushing fatigue, where every movement is a struggle. Some old side effects got jealous and wanted in on the action, so it’s been a reunion of sorts.

But there’s some good news!

I was cleared to resume flossing and using my electric toothbrush. What? Did you think I’d have more exciting news to share? Well, you’re right!

I had a mammogram and breast ultrasound today; my last scans were in December. The tech said the size of the cancer has decreased significantly since the first scans, and even from the last ones. When I asked if they could see the tumor, she indicated they couldn’t find it, but it could still be there on a microscopic level.

I’ll find out more when I meet with the surgeon. Even if it’s there at a level that we can’t see, that’s what surgery and radiation are for. As the tech said, I’m trending in the right direction.

So let’s get the party police in here and break up the action, already, so we can party for the right reasons!
