Carolin's New Hobby

The lovely summer of 2004 came to an abrupt end when Carolin was diagnosed with cancer. What follows are the random thoughts and experiences of the Camerons as Carolin fights back.

Chemo #4



Well today was the last chemo - I am so grateful that it is over. A few weeks of side effects and I can start growing my hair, running, losing weight and starting feeling like my old self again. Hurray!!

My day started out well. I did another 3.5 km training walk with Rylie. It was a beautiful spring day with blue sky, lots of sun and no clouds. Then to make my day even better Sandy called me from Amsterdam. It was nice to hear his voice. He is doing well but looking forawrd to coming home. Me too. Then my friend Karen drove me to the Tom Baker Cancer center for chemo #4. I had a very good nurse and she got my I.V. in on the first try. Karen took some pictures of my last chemo treatment but I told her that she has to delete them because they make me look puff. And I don't like puffy!!

Sandy's mom picked up Jessica and I had time for a nap before supper. So now I am going to enjoy the rest of the evening and hope that I feel good tomorrow. Tomorrow I go to see my second plastic surgeon for a consult. Based on the healing of the scar and knowing that radiation will end at the end of April maybe he can give me a more definite time frame for when I can start that surgery.

I had a call from the radiation department and I go for a radiation consult on March 21.

Well I need to go kiss Jessica good night.

Love to you all.

Carolin

    Hi Carolin,

    Glad that chemo is over for you finally and hope you are feeling stronger. Radiation should be a walk in the park for you. Good luck tomorrow with the consult! Talk to you soon, one of your BCBuddies Michele
