The Fat Lady will sing...

Tomorrow is the day--my VERY LAST cycle of chemo!!!
After tomorrow, I know I'll have about a week of suffering but after that, it's ALL OVER!  I will be so close to winning this battle.  I know the tears that I cry right now are mostly tears of joy but I can't lie, there are also tears of fear and anxiety mixed in.  I already have that vile taste in my mouth that is always compounded during the administration of one of the chemo meds and I'm already feeling a bit of nausea.  I think I feel the shortness of breath that I get during the administration of yet another of the chemo agents.
I get the tiniest bit of comfort knowing that this is it--this will be the last time I'll every have to endure this.
I have asked that I am heavily pre-medicated for my last cycle, I plan to be in medication induced sleep during my last 6 hours of hell and can only hope it lasts an extra 4-5 days to keep me comfortable until I can bear staying awake.
You may not read any new posts for the next few days but be assured that when I come back, it will be a new me in many ways!
