Done

I went for my last chemo on Friday Dec 9th and waited over 2 hours for my blood work. Unfortunately due to human error (what we aren't perfect?) my blood work did not get prioritized as having chemo that day. When the blood work finally came back it was decided I could not have chemo as my blood counts were too low. So after 14 chemos my body said enough is enough. I too have said enough is enough. Although I was disappointed not to get my last chemo, on the bright side my hair will grow back a week earlier and I will feel better a week earlier! I have already started feeling better when working out. I am so thankful that my cancer responded to the chemo and it was able to take care of the skin metastasis. So many other women I know with IBC do not respond to chemo and need to keep trying different agents. I am also thankful that this chemo allowed me to continue working and living as "normal" a life as possible. Praise be to God.

Some you can see...others are invisible, like the prints he 
leaves across other people's lives.
