hi
so its over
i finished chemo 11 and 12
they were pretty normal as the last few went... a few days of feeling bad and then a general upswing until the next session knocked me back again
but that's all over now. siobhan made this lime flavored cupcake in celebration and ate it. hmm. hodgkins never tasted so good.
so now the thing left in the air is what to do about radiation. Since the beginning the consensus was (according to all the doctors) that radiation was necessary since the cancer was detected at stage 2. since i have been doing so well now they are saying that maybe, if the cancer is gone in the PET scan, then i won't have to do radiation. which is nice, b/c that means i will be able to not spend 2 hours a day waiting for treatment for 3 weeks. and i won't become even more irradiated than i am now.
so tomorrow (tues) i go in for another PET scan, and then armed with that info (and all the rest of the info i have generated up to this point) i can go around to the host of cancer doctors who have offered opinions (first and second) and find out the best thing to do.
thanks to all who have helped me thru this, you made it easier for sure. i will update in a few days when i know what is happening.
