nine-er

So, I sit here working, preparing mentally for the beginning of sesh numer 9. After such a fun weekend and some good time with old friends, going back into chemo just doesn't sound too fun. Oh, well, them's the breaks.

I'm hoping for another 'easier' session this time, like last time, and am excited to then be down to three more treatments after this one. Finally getting to the end, and man, not gonna be a second too soon. Really getting sick of going to the doc's office so often, tired of the drugs and the routine. Not going to the doc every week after this is gonna be so sweet. Just not having that constant in my life will make things seem so much more normal again. And normal life is all I can ask for at this point.

It'll be interesting to see, too, how and if the side effects go away after chemo is done. I guess some could possibly continue on, some could be permanent. We're hoping none stay permanent. Hoping the nagging side effects go away, my hair grows back, life gets back close to how it was before all this. When the chemo weeks start, it's really all I can think about.

9's a good number.
Was thinking about you last night looking at my blue Dut bracelet. We should have a ceremonial burning of the bracelets when you are done. A little rite of passage if you will...

so close, my friend...so close...
