Brief:- Finished last round of TCHP treatment
- Returned to full Taxotere Dose
- Received another dose of nausea meds via IV like Round 5
- Finished chemo like a champ!
On Friday, May 13 I was lucky enough to have my last cycle of chemotherapy.
Holly was my nurse, she was the one who administered my first cycle so it was only fair that she be there for my last one. She is phenomenal and was the nurse who inserted my PICC line as well.
On the way to the Kaiser I was distracted after the digital billboard on the side of the highway suddenly showed my face and a message.
David let me know he had collaborated with our friend Christian and together they had gathered messages from friends and family to display through out the day.
I had let Christian know I could see this billboard from the infusion center and asked for a message, I didn’t know there would be several throughout the day and all over the city.
The best part was the infusion station I was designated was on the corner and I could easily see the signs during the treatment.
Since my infusion center does not have a bell, I made the most of it by bringing cake and dressing in fabulous attire to celebrate the occasion.
I was able to celebrate with all my nurses especially Bronda, my nurse navigator and Jamie the nurse manager.
There were lots of pictures and smiles but nothing what was waiting for me at home.
When I arrived home my little sister Cindy greeted me and walked me around through the side yard. As soon as I turned the corner the mariachi band started playing, confetti guns went off and I saw my loved ones including my mom and grandma who I had not seen since Christmas.
It was an emotional moment and I loved every minute.
Friends from Santa Rosa drove up and we were able to have an amazing evening.
Then around 6 it was time to taken my penguin cold cap off for the last time!!!!
