Final AC chemo today. Thank dog. This was the beastie drug. I start a different (and I am promised easier to cope with) chemo drug in March.

I came the closest I've ever come to barfing during treatment, but was all talk and no technicolour. Sorry baldowl.

...but was all talk and no technicolour.

My love for you now knows no bounds based on this statement alone and even though you've (so far) refused to pony up the booby shots*

Glad to hear you're through the real shitty stuff. Either you've not posted or at least not on this filter about the real nasty stuff or have gone through it as easily as I've seen so far. Good on ya.

*Purely for medical reasons I promise.

Yeah, I'm going to have to ask nicely for my surgeon to pony up those photos. Especially as he promised me he wouldn't post them on the internet himself.

The real shitty stuff tends to be mental. I'm the only person who sees those entries. I've certainly had times where I've felt like 12 kinds of crap, and I tend not to post then because I feel like 12 kinds of crap. I wouldn't say it's been easy, but it's been fairly manageable for the most part. I've been very lucky with how my body has been able to handle things.

I should introduce you to a classic Australian colloquialism - barfing is known as a "technicolour yawn".

I can only yay you.

hairy_canary January 27 2009, 17:46:54 UTC

Yay! Ta.

Glad this is the last of the nasty. Here's to easier stuff in March and zero cancer after that

hairy_canary January 27 2009, 17:46:16 UTC

Oh, there's still a bunch of things to go after 2nd chemo ends: radiation, hormones and gene therapy. But yeah, here's to easier stuff and zero cancer.

I am happily disappointed. You're doing great.

hairy_canary January 27 2009, 17:52:24 UTC

Thanks. More to go, I might barf all over someone yet. Don't give up hope!

Glad to hear from you and that the last of the nasty stuff is today. Another hurdle over - it's gotta be good.

hairy_canary January 27 2009, 17:53:31 UTC

Oh hell yes. Not over by a long shot, but feels great to have a major milestone under my belt.
