Another Chapter closes in MyKatWalk - Chemo Is over!!

Good morning. One of my best Friends text me this morning to say that one chapter in MyKatWalk will end today. My other best Friend said she was thinking of me and praying great thoughts as I end my chemo treatment today.

Yes today is my last and final chemo treatment and my stomach is in knots this morning. I am praying that all goes well and that this is truly the end of chemo.

Also I would like to thank all of the many that have been praying for me. I really appreciate it. I will check in later today. Have a safe and wonderful hump day.

My last and final chemo is over. It was a little more complicated than usual therefore taking longer. I am home resting and thanking God that I made it through this chapter in MyKatWalk. For those who know me well know that I am vain when it comes to MY weight, gaining about 30 lbs going through this process was very hard for me. I weigh more now than I did when I have birth. Any way I got on the scale today and I'm down 5 lbs. Some might say, "Why are you concerned about weight when you are battling cancer"? Well my answer is I know I'm going to kick cancers a$$ however this weight thing is going to be a challenge. It seems like I woke up 30 lbs heavier. Just like I am fighting cancer I will fight this weight and not give up. After all I have a Masquerade Ball to attend in December and summer is coming. Have a great night Face

 

Treatment Number 5

Yesterday I noticed a little hair in my bathroom sink.  I figured it came from my brush.  I also noticed that I had eyelashes in my glasses but it really did not register.  Well, last night I looked in the mirror and noticed that I had patches missing in my head.  I immediately told Tawanna (my friend for over 30 Thug Years) who was staying the night with me in order to take me to Chemo tomorrow.  She looked at me and said you are still beautiful. 

This morning I shampooed my hair and used my styling cream.  I immediately looked at my hands to see hair in my hands.  I was totally shocked.  I began to brush my hair and it was coming out in the sink.  It finally hit me that the lashes in my glasses were actually falling out and the hair in my sink was not from my brush but from my head.  I am now in the full throws of chemo.  

The side effects of chemo have been different for me.  Many lose weight, become nauseous and have little energy.  I am the complete opposite.  My insomnia is worse, my appetite is the same and I have gained a total of 10 lbs.  This is very upsetting for me because I am no longer the active individual I used to be.  However I will continue to thank God that the cancer was found when it was and that I am in great spirits.  I believe that in order to beat anything you have to have the fortitude of a fighter. 

Again today is treatment number 5 and I have prevailed and am feeling great.   Until I chat again, always remember that this is MyKatWalk through cancer as I am NOT going to live here.
