"So I'll take my life back now...thanks!"
For sure...Nicole is ready to take back the life she loves - teaching, laughing, cooking, church assignments, family activities, travel. The tenth and final chemo treatment ended Thursday, August 19...not a moment too soon! She has a PET scan tomorrow to see how much the tumor has shrunk after this extremely rigorous three-month treatment.After that, the oncologist and radiation oncologist will discuss a likely schedule for radiation - which may not begin for several weeks. As Nicole says, "Radiation is a breeze compared to chemo!" She can live her normal routine while getting "zapped" according to a the prescribed treatment. Sounds terrible, but she assures us that compared to chemo, "it's a piece a' cake!"
Thank you all for your love, encouragement and help, for seeing her, and all of us, through this third and most miserable lymphoma cancer treatment with its erratic side effects. It's been a long, tough road! We couldn't have done it alone.
