Yesterday, July 8th, I had the last of 6 chemo infusions. It took 6 hours, again, but I have a bit of a cold so I slept through some of it which was kind of nice. Now I am doing the steroid part of the cycle. I don’t think I will feel like I am done until I am not feeling chemo-sick. But it is already nice to think that I wont be going back to that chemotherapy room at the hospital three weeks from now.
My awareness of having Lymphoma started with a colonoscopy in February. In a week and a half, on July 19th, I’ll have another colonoscopy to see if the lymphoma is gone from my colon.
In 10 days, after colonoscopy, we should have a little party, or at least have a coordinated sigh of relief.
What will that date be?
July 19th. Since you asked I just edited the post to say that.
Hallelujah! You did it! Even though you didn’t have a choice I’m still proud of you.
Hoping for the best. Fingers crossed.
Thanks Pranav. My fingers are crossed too.
Good news. Keep up the fight!!!
Thanks Dorothy.
This is marvelous news. We hope it keeps keeping on in the most wonderful kind of way.
Love, Patria and Geoff
Congratulations!
Thanks. It does’t quite feel like a victory, but it is a step.
Woohoo Saskya!! You are a warrior woman. So happy chemo is done. You are in my heart and hoping for a clear colonoscopy.
Thanks Marcia
That’s great news, Saskya; I hope your colonoscopy goes well, and I’m looking forward to your next blog post 🙂
Saskya, big congratulations on a major milestone, and I like the idea that you got to ring a bell. I hope the steroid phase is tolerable and look forward to your next news. A colonoscopy party might be a first!
Well done Saskya! We arrived back home from Finland main land in the night and saw the good news of you ringing the bell! Hope the picture of your colon will look good. It’s very warm here, my sister has witnessed two women in their 60:s to have a heart attack, in one week! We were there when the other of the women had fallen from her bike. People tried to help her but she didn’t make it. I felt the need of a ceremony, song… something, but there was only calm and silence. We’d better to celebrate life while it lasts, be grateful and take care! Thanks Saskya!
