Today was my 4th and last chemo of cytoxan and taxotere. YIPPEE! I was so glad to get it over with. They had to stick me 3 different times but finally it work. I guess my veins were giving out from the last 3 rounds. It just feels so good to be finished. I had to do a blood test to check for enzymes and see him back in month to talk about tamoxifen and what my check up appts will be like the next year. I am assuming more mammograms and blood tests. Anyway for those of you going through it, remember that there is a time coming when this chemo will be over and you will be well and get your strength back and live your life again. You won't be the same but you will be better for it. God uses these things to bring us to a better place if we allow Him to. Remember to get BETTER in Christ and not BITTER.....I know some days that getting bitter is easy to do but keep your eyes on Jesus and trust Him to carry you through this and He will. God's blessings and His peace be with you all.

    I'm so happy for you, Lorrie!
    You did it!! Way to go! I had the same cocktail and was so relieved to be done after 4 cycles. Taxotere is wicked stuff BUT it does what is supposed to do!

    God bless!

    Thanks for all of your support
    I want to thank all of you for your support during this time in my life. I could not have made it without you all and my Lord and Savior. Support is so crucial during this time and I thank God for this network of warriors who while battling this disease themselves can give so much strength, encouragement and love to others going through the same things. I will never forget you all and I will continue to come onto this network daily to do the same for others that you have done for me...that is be a support system and a chain that is not easily broken but responds where the need is that day to strengthen and encourage and let the newbies know that we have made it through and they can also. Thanks again. Love you all!
