The weeks roll by pretty quickly as I move from one treatment to another. I just passed the 27th week, which means that I now only have 25 weeks of treatment left! (Not that I'm counting or anything.) And my counting confused many people as I was so excited after completing chemo that many people thought I was finished with all treatment. Not quite. So yes, chemo is finished but no, all treatment is not completely finished. Don't feel bad if you can't keep up. It's complicated unless you are doing the counting - then it's just a simple matter of weeks.
So, more confusion to add to the mix...yes, mastectomy is tomorrow but no, it's not because I have cancer in my other breast. It's prophylactic as they say and yes, it was my choice. This go round is much easier than the last because of that - the waiting for results is a killer - and also because it's been well planned in advance. Other little details are great, too, like the fact that without much hair I won't have to worry about not being able to wash or dry it for a while!
So in case I am out of it for a while, Merry Everything and here's to an UNeventful 2014! And remember what Ferris Bueller says..."Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Don't miss it!
