So I had my eighth treatment today. There is a small possibility this is my last one (fingers crossed!). I have a CT/PET Scan scheduled for next Thursday, August 23. Hopefully this will show that all the cancer cells are gone, and I will be done with the chemotherapy. More realistically, they will want to do one or two more sessions to make sure. Either way, I feel like I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
For the third straight time, I tossed my cookies right after treatment before leaving the cancer center. I'm not sure why it has been like this the last few sessions. They increased the strength of the anti-nausea medicine they gave me, and I did something a little different with breakfast (tried bagels and cream cheese instead of fruit and/or cereal). Didn't work. Anyway, once again I felt immediately better after that, and came home, had lunch, then took a nap.
I woke up and got a little work done, then watched the Tigers lose to the Indians. The Tigers have played absolutely awful the last few weeks, and with 8 games against the red-hot Yankees in the next 12 days, it's only going to get worse. Sooo frustrating. Mostly, I just lounged around through the rest of the evening. I felt okay - not great, not terrible. Headed to bed early to get a good night's sleep.

Dana Buck! Are you still up for some cake tomorrow? Hope so... hope i can find your house this time. I'm really glad that you are so positive about your treatment, being sick and life in general. It's really inspiring. I'm glad that you havent given up hope. You are so close to being done with all of this. We have to have a "Dana is better" party. I'll plan it!!! :)
Dana,
