last treatment

today was my last herceptin. wow. it warranted a trip back to maialino....:)

what a great way to end this year of years. i invited my cancer girl power mgment team - and tried to toast them but couldn't get the words out w/ out tears.

hard to believe that i am now "clear". so weird to think that it is all behind me now (yay) and that i can just go back to living my life.

so here i am. 12 months since my first chemo.....

definitely makes me wonder what that should include now.

staring down the pill

so tonight is my night to start tamoxifen. i do it with some apprehension juxtaposed with some relief that i've reached this point in my treatment. i'm nervous that i'll have some of the side effects which would suck after everything else i've had so i'm trying to remember what aches and pains i have normally (knees and stiffness) vs. what i may experience. also hot flashes. woo woo. already have them but people say you get more. so pleasant. i liken it to being stuck into a pizza oven.

i am tired tonight. had my 30th hs. reunion this weekend and was out 'til 2 2 nights in a row only to be followed up by a party. couldn't sleep last night. music was replaying in my head. hoping it's a quieter evening for me tonight! some nights it's hard to turn that station off it seems.

need to write about my reunion but that is really for a different post.

so glad to see the miners come up. amazing.
