Chemotherapy #9 and a Revision

Yesterday was Chemotherapy #9, my last scheduled one! And in a few minutes, I will return to the office for my Neulasta shot. My face is a bit red from "chemo burn", and I took a nap this morning from spotty night-sleeping. I am especially praying that this treatment will find and wipe out any remaining cancer cells. Then my focus of prayer will be leaning toward the third angle, that my body and my whole self will be so healthy that cancer will not come back.

In the meantime, Kathy C. and company are outside, getting rid of overgrown shrubbery (yard cancer?). What an amazing gift she is in her continued project of bringing life and beauty to our yard!

As for the Revision... during chemotherapy yesterday, in talking with the nurse Beth, I mentioned that I would not be back for an appointment until December. She said she thought Dr. Malviya would want to see me at the end of this cycle. She checked with him, then said he did want to see me (he had just been trying to leave space for a trip with my mom and sister, but it is only a week, and I can come after that). So I will see him in October, and only skip seeing him in November.
