Well, what a year it has turned out to be for all of us! We are almost done with 2020, and boy, oh boy.... I am so ready for it. I’m not one who likes to wish time away but never has there been a year I wished time could go warp speed like I’ve wished for this year. I have been just going through the motions the last couple months. Trying to stay busy and motivated. I started having a reaction to the treatment on my skin. It looked like a heat rash that started on my chest and then migrated to my neck, scalp and face. It started to blister and itched and felt terrible. I was prescribed a couple different creams and steroids to help clear it up. I had to go see a dermatologist to help get it settled down. It is looking much better and it doesn’t itch so badly now. I spoke to my oncologist today and he told me some awesome news, which is that I only have TWO more treatments and he plans on having me done after January 6th. I was originally told that I wouldn’t be done until February/March time frame so that is a huge chunk of time cut off. I am so happy and anxious to be that much closer to being done with this part of my treatment. I am so ready for it. I can’t wait to have the port out of my chest and the tube in my neck out. This will also help with the skin irritation I have been experiencing too so that will be great too. I was losing steam and for sure needed this positive news to keep me tracking. I feel like i have been extremely lucky to have so many people who continue to reach out and check in on us while we have been going though this, especially at a time when we are all having to deal with the added stress of COVID. I hope that everyone has a good holiday season and that 2021 will bring new and better things for all of us.
