Sweet Sixteen!!! Finished with Chemo!!!



Sweet Sixteen- Final Chemo treatment!


Today was my last day of chemo. I was so happy!!  This last 6 months have been dragging and I could not wait for them to be over.  I have had some joint pain and heart issues, but I know they will be over soon.  There was a volunteer there while I was getting my treatment.  She said Chemo makes us sick and tired, Radiation only makes us tired.  God I hope that is the way it works,....I can handle tired. LOL!  I was blessed with a wonderful group of nurses at TX Oncology in Round Rock. One of my favorite nurses, Sabrina, was my nurse today.  When I finished with my chemo, they celebrated by throwing confetti on me.  They didn't have me down as finishing today so I didn't get my certificate..I am supposed to get it when I go for radiation. It's okay - all I care about is that I finished!  You also may have noticed I am getting my hair back. It is coming in white and black..neither of my natural colors, and it is sticking straight up on top. LOL!  Oh well, at least I am getting my hair back.

On a sad note, my friend Teresa "Terbay" Santiago's grandson, Drake, is battling Leukemia.  He was in remission, but has recently taken a turn for the worse and the family has been told he has a 10% chance of making it.  Please add him and the family to your prayers. Please pray God will perform a miracle and allow Drake to grow up to do special things.  Thank you! 

Have a wonderful Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year! Celebrate the Miracle of Jesus!

Hugs and smiling REALLY BIG!!
