September 15, 2017-  Week 6 Day 5 Chemo/Radiation- Getting Antsy

My last day of chemo went off without a hitch. My labs looked good so we finished the last round, and then took out the picc line. As planned I went home and hogged all the hot water 🙂 The past few days my throat and chest have been on fire with reflux and heartburn, to the point where even doubling the pain meds hasn't completely helped. It's very frustrating, but still, I'm thankful its not worse. The sleeping is where I am really struggling, and I can't seem to make it more than 45 minutes to an hour before waking up and being stuck awake. I will welcome a good night sleep when it arrives with open arms. After today I get the weekend off then have just 4 more days of radiation before I can say I am completely done with the treatment. I have all my fingers and toes crossed that my current experiences are the worst they will get and then I'll be on the mend. I have really high hopes for a lot of delicious food when we get to California without a big struggle. Oh, and sea shells 🐚 of course. I'll have to remember room to bring the beach back with me! I have some really beautiful Vera Bradley luggage to stockpile things in thanks to my loved ones ❤️ Also my mom and Doug got me a really beautiful wig of short crazy red hair that looks a lot like me. If I get brave I'll post a pic of it for y'all sometime. That's about it for now, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend
