6th Infusion complete!

in Uterine/Endometrial Cancer #1

Well, I had my 6th frontline chemo today. It was delayed a week and required a blood transfusion to get me ready,  but it happened. When I think about the last 5 months it went quickly, tho when I was in the thick of it I had my doubts I could make it due to side affects. I know I have 3 days of pain coming my way, a pet/CT scan to determine status and radiation to get thru. But I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.  For those women who've had multiple rounds of chemo, I'm awed by your strength and determination and many a day I thought of you to get thru my frontline.  From what I've learned on this board,  I'm not saying this is my last chemo -- I don't know what the future holds, but that doesn't diminish my sense of relief this part is over.  Thank you to everyone on this board who has shared their experiences and support, the love here is palatable and every word of encouragement to me or someone else has lifted me. All the best to us all!

    I am happy for you, Gardena

    When I was in the thick of it two years ago- facing my last chemo in March, 2013- it didn't seem like I would ever complete treatment.  Finally, it was over!  This too shall pass.

    YES!!!  So glad you made it through to completion! Congratulations.

    I can't remember what kind of radiation you are having... For me, Chemo was way harder than the radiation. (Brachy only)

    Get through the tough days and then enjoy the road back to normal!

    Love and Hugs,

    That's so great.  I have only wimply completed chemo 4, but am already looking ahead at the day my chemo #6 comes.  Did you have a rush of emotions and tears?  I know I will.  Congratulations and here's hoping the happy feeling of completing chemo helps with the next few days.  Hugs Nancy

    Getting through chemo is a major accomplishment.  Rest up and get ready to get back to a non-chemo life!

    Happy!

    So very glad that is over for you!  I was beyond happy and relieved for all of one day!  Then I had the panic attack of "What do I do Now to Stop this from coming BACK"!  I seriously asked if I could continue on a small dose to "be sure"!  Did the sam thing when I went from three month check up to six month check up.  I had my  fifth year clear back in Oct.  for my yearly check up and every thing was good. Then I Went to my PCP this week and, yes, I asked him to run a CA125," just to be sure"!  Don't be surprised if you get a little antsy at NOT doing chemo!  Debra
