The Beginning of the End

I've taken my pills for the extra steroids for my last dose of chemotherapy. At the onset I remember thinking that 16 weeks would be so long to endure. Here I am. I've made it through 7 treatments with relative ease (compared to my imagination). I am continuing to envision myself cancer-free. I'll tuck myself in tonight and think positive thoughts about this treatment. I'm sleepy from a day with the kids at the pool - it's a good thing because sleep will be easier to come by. In the morning we're planning to have breakfast with my folks and the Cawley's and get a good meal in ahead of the treatment. Some New York Bagels are sitting on the dining table for the occasion. Maybe my dreams will be full of poppy seed bagels and veggie cream cheese, or everything bagels and salmon spread.

More tomorrow. By the way, Friday will be a great day, I'll have a new baby cousin arriving on Long Island. His or her Mom, my Aunt Tricia, is scheduled to go to the hospital in the early morning to have her 4th baby. Yay! See, life keeps happening, and I'm still enjoying it.
