I'm grateful to have finished the 6th cycle of chemotherapy today. I didn't have to miss one cycle, held my own with the big boys, carboplatin and taxol. I didn't do it alone. I had my patient daughter, Bridgett, with me for every single one. Even after her own pregnancy ended up in a c-section, she made it to my April 28th cycle, Ella Amberley only 1 week old, came along. Her amazing dedication and love for me and seeing to my every need, made this experience tolerable. And to be able to come home to my husband after these treatments, when I couldn't even think about food to sustain me, he would console me and run through the list of possibilities one more time until he came up with the perfect one.
Even though I will continue with the clinical trial, at least the worst is over, I hope.
