14 days from now I will be done with chemo. Two weeks. I feel like I've got this in the bag now. I can't even believe it..and when I think about it, I get a bit teary eyed. I remember so clearly how bad round 1 was. How I felt like my body literally wouldn't make it, and mentally I wouldn't survive this. But here I am, just two weeks, 1 infusion, 4 hours of being stuck to an IV, until I'm at the end of this chapter. (Well, not counting the following 3 days of Neupogen shots.)
Round 7 was a piece of cake so far. Lisa was sweet enough to come with me today, since Matt's still got his nasty virus. We thought the other patients would be less than impressed if we waltzed in with him hacking up a lung. The plan was for Lisa and I to have a full day of Scrabble play - since we're both Scrabble addicts. But instead we ended up just chatting the whole time. It was really nice to catch up. Lately when we hang out with the kids, our time is taken up with playing with them, or one of us running off to wrangle an escaped toddler. So having complete conversations is rare.
I'm feeling really groggy and out of it now. I'm sure it's the bag of Benadryl they gave me. I'm hoping the rest of this week treats me well. But if not, I'll be okay. 14 days.

Almost there! Just stay strong and keep positive (hard to do when you don't feel great but do it anyway). You are an inspiration to all of us. Can't wait to hear you finally say "it's all over! I'm done with cancer." You are loved by everyone who knows you and those who don't but are reading your blog! Love Mama
