I am on my last scheduled chemo today. I get the 4.5 hours of treatment, get sent home with the pump, take the pump off Thursday and patiently wait till next Tuesday for my CT scan. Then the following Tuesday I get to visit the Liver Specialist and see what is in store for my future. Hoping to have surgery for my reversal and liver at same time in May and get done with this fun. Feeling great, no issues with the treatment to this point. Only the cold tingling fingers and lack of drinking anything cold for a week after chemo. That is the only bad part.. and currently lack of taste buds but hoping that will be back in a few weeks!!!

Wishing the rest of you luck in your battles and journeys! Upward and forward has been my moto.. never looked back.. always positive never been down!!

    Great Attitude. That's 80% of this, the other "half" is a good plan and good doctors ;-)
    The taste buds come back after a little while...
