Last Chemo treatment

I received my last treatment of Taxol yesterday. It went well, and it’s such a relief to have that part of all of this over with. It was a pretty easy treatment… the Taxol always seems like such a long time, as it goes in over three hours. That plus the visit with the oncologist, the blood test beforehand, and all of the pre-medications makes it stretch out interminably. I sat in the treatment room with a rather nice and enjoyable (and talkative!) guy this time.
The nurses were all so sweet, too- they brought me a piece of cake with a candle in it and sang ‘happy last treatment to you’ to me. I know that I’ve gone on about how well taken care of I’ve felt at Swedish, but I really have been cared for by some remarkable people.
