And Done

I wanted to let all of you know that Cynthia had her last chemo treatment last week Thursday. Although she is finished, it is bitter sweet. She has quite a bit of tingling in her fingers and toes (a known side effect of this chemo drug) and she has some fluid build up in her right breast (lymphodemia). She will need to go through PT for the lymphodemia and is taking drugs to get rid of the numbness in her hands and feet (of course the drug does not come without some side effects as well).

The good news though is that the chemo treatments are behind us now. Cynthia is anxiously awaiting for both her strength and her hair to start growing back. They say in about 3 weeks both should start to come back.

I know I told you that she would write the last blog...but she has been busy and has not had time to formulate what she wants to say. I just wanted to give you the update on treatment. So there it is. I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. Summer is hear...Yoo Hoo!!!! Let the games begin.

Take care and enjoy your Summer.

Cheers to the end of chemo! No doubt your body has been through hell and it will take some time. Seeing you and Bobby recently was so amazing. God broke the mold when he made you two. September can't come quick enough. Love ya
