It's finally here, my last chemo treatment. I know the time has flown by fast for everyone else, but not so much for me. For my last treatment I had my sister and Kevin by my side. It was nice to have them both there. The last treatment went well, my arm is still swollen up a bit and the fluids from the treatment only seemed to make it worse. The doctor as a precaution, put me on antibotics to fight any possible infection. I am suppose to keep my arm elevated as much as possible. My face is really swollen up from the fluids. I weighed myself before and after chemo and I have 6 lbs of fluids added on. I stay all puffy for about 2 days and then the swelling will start to come down. I am also taking water pills to help with the water retention, but it only helps so much. I am also drinking lots of water to try and flush this chemo out of me asap. I have some hair growing to do and it won't start until the chemo says bye bye to my body. : 0 )
Today 10/14 I have to go for my 6 month mammogram followup appt. I start 6 weeks of radiation in two weeks and the doctor wanted me to get this mammogram out of the way before I started radiation.
So off I go today for another appointment.
