People might keep asking me How Much Longer? While I don't have a date, I do have these numbers.
We started at 64,000; three weeks ago we were down to 290; last week was 247; yesterday's number: 67!!! Take that bitch ass cancer! Sixty-fricken-7! Can you see the light at the end of the tunnel? It's not the bright light telling me to "Come home!" It's the light of zero, the light of my hair will grow back, the light of I will be cancer free. We. Are. Getting. There.
I won't get too ahead of myself. There's still a lot to do. Including 6 weeks of chemo even after we hit zero. But a bald girl needs a little bit of good news and that 67 did it for me!!
Marcia was my special guest yesterday and it's always wonderful to have her bright smile and always upbeat attitude around. You can be sad around her. Today, my girlfriend from college is taking the day off to bring me to chemo. Lisa (Melillo) Harris and I ran cross country and track together, ran the Harrisburg Marathon together in 2004, and have stayed friends despite being, er, 10 years (!?!?) out of college! She and I would drink cheap beer together in college ... but we'll aim for expensive cosmos when I'm finally better. Can't wait for "Good Girlfriend Catch-up Time" with a side of chemo!
67, people! Let's do this! xoxoxo
