Transformation!

September 21, 2018

Sorry it’s been a while! I met with Dr. Patel last week and she said she doesn’t feel the tumor at all.. so amazing! If everything goes as planned my last chemo infusion will be Mon. Oct 15th. Breast MRI is scheduled for Wed. Oct 17th and then I meet with Dr. Patel the following day. She said I will have a 4 week break then surgery. No date yet but we are thinking early/mid November. Chemo has been such a long process and I am relieved it is coming to an end. 

I started injections from home this week! It was probably the worst injection I have ever given… I got nervous and pushed the needle into my stomach so slow hahah! I’ll need to work on that 😂 So happy I don’t have to go to the hospital 2 additional days a week for shots though!

Starting to feel chemo a little more. Slightly foggy & achy on days 3/4. Weird symptoms like my fingernails are turning a light brown color and really sensitive/painful. I also have what looks like poison ivy on my fingers.. itchy bumps everywhere. The hot flashes and insomnia continue at night. Taste is off. I’m either off the wall with tons of energy or exhausted. Still home with the kiddos though and pushing through! 😊

4 CHEMO TREATMENTS LEFT!! ❤️

Also, I am sharing a collage that shows pictures before during and after chemo. See below! The transformation is pretty wild. My hair is definitely coming in though. I see a decent amount on my head and small little black dots near my eye lids 👏 yay!
