I am finally starting to get my energy back (without ridelin) and it feels good.  Those first 4 days after my last chemo really had me drained, mentally and physically.   I will find out tomorrow at my weekly herceptin appointment where my levels stand.  Fingers crossed they are normal and all is good.  I want to feel my best for Saturday's walk for breast cancer.  I am excited about the event and will have a lot of family and friends supporting me and other survivors, as well as keeping those in our hearts that are no longer with us.   I am sure it will be a fun and emotional day.

Side effects:    The only new side effect I am currently having is all my finger tips on both hands are numb.  The doctor said the side effects will go away once my last chemo is complete and has time to get out of my system.  Though I have not liked my side effects, I know others have it a lot worse.  So I try to not whine too much about it, but sometimes Kevin has to listen.     : 0 )

What I am looking foward to when chemo is finally done:

• Spending lots of time with family and friends and not feeling sick while doing it.
• Having my full energy back to enjoy camping.
• Ditching the wig and growing my own hair and trying out new hair styles.
• Getting back to the gym and working out.

Just a few of the things I miss in no particular order.

Tomorrow I have my weekly herceptin appointment and I will blog again and let everyone know how my blood work turned out.
