At 2pm today, I will be receiving one of my last Herceptin iv's ever! I thought today would be the last one but when I asked my nurse 3 weeks ago, she said that she thinks I have 2 to go (one today and one in 3 weeks from now). I can' wait for this to be over with. My veins need a vacation.
I have only mild things to complain about but I'd prefer to look at all the positives! I feel like my old self. I can taste my food (a little too well, maybe. MmMm Ice cream! *Drool!*), I am looking more and more like myself, I am enjoying the weather outside, and I have been working. The funny thing is that I have only missed 1.5 days of work throughout this whole ordeal. No matter how I felt, knowing that I had to get up and out of bed in the morning really helped keep me in a positive mindset.
I am not looking forward to the needles in a couple hours from now but I am looking forward to the last 1 or 2 needles, ever! I am more adept at handling things that come my way when I know how long they're going to last. One or two more iv's... I can handle that!
What a year.
Without further ado, this is what I currently look like. :)
And here's a bonus photo:
