Hello…I’m still here. Sorry I know I am terrible at posting, but to be honest life is pretty boring and there is not much happening. I finished up chemo last Friday, February 26th. I can’t tell you how happy I am about this. Especially since this last treatment has really beaten me down. The nausea has been a little much. I have Zofran to take for the nausea but I haven’t taken it since my first treatment…it causes the worst headaches and I would rather be nauseous.
Like I said life is kind of boring right now. Sometimes boring can be good, but I am so ready to be back into life. I have been able to get to the gym here and there (pretty much the week before the next chemo treatment) and it has been a teaser for me. I love going to the gym. The weather is starting to show glimmers of spring which brings a smile to my face. Spring brings new life…things will soon be blooming, my Special Olympics Tennis will be starting, and radiation will begin. I can not wait to see my athletes again and start training. I just pray I have the energy to keep up; but I have an awesome assistant coach and support system, so I am sure all will be bueno!!!
Tomorrow is my appointment with the radiation doctor at Oakwood Cancer Center. I feel good about Oakwood because Dr. Milito specializes in mouth and throat cancers and takes special precautions in regards to the side effects. I am very anxious to get all of the information and get the next phase started!!!
So that’s what has been up…not much of anything. Still fighting, still trying to stay strong!!

YAY!!! Glad everything seems to be going well for you. That's awesome your going to Oakwood for your radiation. Dr. Milito is GREAT!!! You will love him :) You finished chemo the same day my mom did - what a great day that was for the both of you. Now it's nothing but up from here.
Take care and keep your spirits up :)
