Life in Remission: Year One
A year ago today, I walked into my Oncologist's office for my last chemotherapy appointment. I still can't believe that it's been a year. No more chemo drugs, fatigue, pain, brain fog, or a picc line. That stuff is in the past. My current desire is to forget all those things and move on! But there are lessons in those moments of pain that need to be remembered. That's partially the reason for this blog, to write down the things I wish to forget but know that I need to remember. (October 2017) I choose this day to be my cancerversary because the day my doctor announced I was officially in remission was about a month and a half later. It was very anti-climactic, I didn't ring the bell or anything like that. (Ringing a large bell is often a celebration of the end of chemo in some oncologist offices.) So I choose my last chemo day because that was exciting to me, it meant no more feeling like crap and finally allowing my body to feel better. No more roller coaster...
