FANNIE PACK IS OFF!

Until my chemo fannie pack was off I wasn't done with my last treatment. This morning it was taken off and I feel like IT'S OVER!!
I know that the next few days will be hard but then I can begin to get my strength and appetite back. I feel like a new woman already just knowing that there's no more chemo going into my body. I'm so grateful that I live in this day and age with all the miracle drugs that are available, but needless to say, I'm so relieved that there is an end to it.

When I first began chemo it was hot outside. It was fun to have the fireplace going this morning because there was a cold nip in the air when we arrived at the Cancer Center. What a lovely facility we have here in Grand Junction and it's only 5 minutes from our home.

Teresa was able to go with me this morning. She has been so helpful and loving durng all this. She often bopped in every morning to check up on how I was feeling during my treatments. This was comforting for me.

Here I am taking my Fannie Pack off for the last time. YIPPEE!!

Teresa took this last picture of me before leaving the facility. I did feel like a FREE WOMAN AT LAST. This will be my last picture in my documentation scrapbook that I have been keeping about my cancer experience. It's a great way to end my books.

Thank you all for your love and prayers. I have truly felt the powers of heaven help me through this experience. Life is great and I'm ready to go on with it. May the Lord bless you all!

MY LAST CHEMO TREATMENT!

There were many prayers in my behave these last couple of weeks. Yesterday couldn't have gone smoother. They were able to get blood out of my port and when they got my port ready, it didn't even hurt. Last week it was painful so I wasn't looking forware to this. My platlets were better and so the chemo was on schedule. I was so excited that we didn't have to wait a week.

Don had taken the day off to be with me on the last chemo treatment. It was great having him with me. I had Charleen again and she is such a good sport about having pictures taken. She thinks it's great that I have documented all my cancer experiences throughout the last six monthns.

The only problem with Don is he made me nervous when he was playing around with my cocktail. I told him that he wasn't to be Dr. Quack during this time. Don was very interested in all that I went through during my treatments.

Needless to say, I was very glad that this chemo treaztment was over. After I get through the bad days, I can then GET ON WITH MY LIFE!! What a great thought!

I love you all and thank you for your love and support. This has helped me get through this time of my life.

When I get my chemo pack off on Thursday, we will really celebrate. Until then.................Love you!

HALLOWEEN-2010

Halloween began on Friday afternoon when Teresa came over to borrow my BEE costume. I let her use my blond wig and put make up on her. She was now ready for her works Halloween Party. Of course Muffin was ready too. We thought Teresa was a BLONDBEE!

For Sunday I decided to wear a costume that Tami bought a few years ago. I tried it on and IT FIT ME! I figure I was the wicked step mother of SNOW WHITE that changed into a witch at the end of the story.

Don had a great time passing out candy all night. He didn't want me to wear out getting up and down. Of course Shadow kept us informed when ever anyone was coming to the door. We had a lot of trick or treaters and it was fun for all of us!
