On to the Next Stage of This Journey

I am officially DONE WITH CHEMO! I'm glad. My family and friends are glad. I am almost starting to feel like a human being again. My energy level is improving daily. My red blood cell count is almost normal and my white blood cells are HIGH! I ate sushi today for the first time in two months. I can almost climb the stairs without getting out of breath or stopping for a break at the top.

Next step is Tamoxifen. This is a drug to inhibit my estrogen from feeding the cancer. I will have to be on this drug for two to five years.

Reconstruction continues in December with a minor surgery on December 11 and a few more minor cosmetic procedures in the following months.

Hair is growing slowly. I expect it to pick up soon and hope that in a month or so it will be as long as it was before I started the taxotere which wasn't long but it was healthy and full and fun to rub my head.
