A New Day: No mas chemo

I am still off of chemo and hopefully for good this time. My counts did not come back up in time so I will not be finishing the last 2-3 rounds of chemo. The doctor said it is ok since it was extra chemo. I was a little nervous at first. In a weird way chemo is like a security blanket, I felt very safe when I was taking it. I felt like I was actively doing something to take care of myself and now I don't have that. It's a good thing. Don't get me wrong I'm so happy to be done, it just took a little adjustment. I had prepared myself to be on chemo for a few more months. That changed in a 3 minute conversation with my doctor. I've had a little time and am now very excited about my new freedom. My strength has been coming back. I am going to take November to get stronger and get my counts back up. I will be scanned at the beginning of December. I'm going to enjoy every single holiday before I go back to work. I was on chemo last year and I'm going to make up for it. So if all goes as planned (unless I get a great offer I just can't resist) I will be heading back to work in January.
