Just a quick installment to report I am all done with chemotherapy! I wrapped up my 8th and final cycle this week. I'm feeling great, and I started juicing again to detox the system of any remaining chemo agents still floating around. I still seem to be hovering around my lean mean weight of about 150-155 lbs, but I am eating well and have lots of energy.
The last hurdle will happen next month on march 15 when I do my ileostomy reversal surgery. This is apparently less invasive and taxing than the original surgery I did to remove the tumor, but I will be spending a few days in the hospital following the surgery, and I'll be taking it super easy after that for a little while to recover.
That's it for now. I'm about to catch a plane for New Orleans. Foreigner is doing a private event there smack dab in the middle of Mardi Gras weekend. Looking forward to enjoying a bit of the revelry, and of course sampling some beignets from Cafe Du Monde!
