I am happy to say that there weren’t the side effects that I was expecting.   Praise!  I am now done with chemo and it’s effects.  My hair is going to start growing back in a few weeks – which I expect to be very itchy!  I should stock up on some anti-itch stuff now. 😉
I have decided not to have an end of chemo party, but rather have a BIG party when this is ALL over.  To celebrate the end of chemo and Valentine’s Day, I bought myself a present.  Sol and I are going to see “Wicked” tonight.  I am really excited.  I love the theater and have heard wonderful things about this musical.

I met with the surgeon on Tuesday and have a surgery date scheduled – March 7th.  That is going to come really fast; it’s three weeks from tomorrow.  I can’t wait to have this cancer out of my body.  I know that we took the best road in terms of treatment, but now it’s time to get rid of it for good!   After surgery, I have to wait 6 weeks to heal and then take on radiation everyday for 6 weeks.   I’ve counted it all out on the calendar and that takes me through the end of May.  So plan on a party sometime in June!  🙂

We are heading to Fresno this weekend to work on the house and hopefully sign a contract with renters.  They saw the house and want to move in right away!  What a praise and relief!  We had the carpet taken out and tile put in throughout the house this past week and can’t wait to see the result.  We are thankful to Sol’s family, especially Oralia, for all their help in getting this all put together.  It means so much to know that they are there helping out with our needs!  🙂

Well that’s about it for now.  I am really thankful to be feeling well and moving on to the next phase of this treatment.  Thanks for your thoughts, prayers and encouragement.  It makes this road so much less lonely!
