2 To G0!!!!!!!!!

AMAZING! I can't believe it!!!!! I am so excited!! 2 Chemos left!!! My chemo nurse, Dianne, handed me a calender today with my last chemo scheduled and circled on it and my face instantly lit up. It is just one month and I am DONE!!!!!! Then, its off to radiation. Hopefully that will go well. I am told that it is fairly easy compared to chemo.
I know I have only been dealing with this since November, that is only 6 months, yet it seems so much longer then that. I can't really remember what it was like not to have to worry about all of this. While I truly have been blessed with my health and strength in getting through this, I can't wait for things to get back to normal. In fact, I find myself getting excited to go to my chemo and doctors appointments not because I want to be there, honestly I don't, but because with every appointment I am that much closer to the end.
Today things went really well. My older sister, Jerah, went with me and we had a pretty good time . They got us in and out in really fast. It only took about an hour and twenty minutes and everything went really smoothly. I didn't have any problems at all. The last few times I have been getting a little sick to my stomach, but I think we have found a solution. Who knew sniffing alcohol wipes could actually be a good thing? After my appointment, as I have been doing after every chemo lately, we went over to Ariba Mexican Grill and got their 99 cent tacos. Mmm.... they are good. It has gotten to the point however that they recognize me when I walk in the door. I don't know why, but I hate that. There is just something uncomfortable to me about being known as a regular. Maybe next time we will mix things up a bit.
Anyways, as it turns out Emma beat me! :( She got her neckbrace off today. I am totally jealous, but like I said I'll be done soon!!!!!! She looks fabulous and I hope she doesn't mind me saying, but I had forgotten what her neck looked like. Its a nice looking neck (if that is at all possible). I was kind of afraid that it was going to look kind of funky like arms and legs do after a cast has been taken off, but I suppose a neck brace lets in a bit more air then a cast does.
We decided to tattoo my head again and this time we went all out. They are still all stick ons and completely hokey again, but I thought the design turned out AWESOME!Check out the pictures below. That is all I have for now. I'll ttyl.
