Today was Day 8, Round 8. The last day of IV chemo for my BEACOPP treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The girls stayed at Dave's parents and Dave and I headed into the RAH as we have done so many times this last 5 months. The nurse I was allocated today was the same one I had on my very first day. She enjoyed the symmetry, as did I. Her care made special bookends to my time in the oncology day centre.
I still have tablets to take for the next few days and then after that, I'm done. It's weird. I'm still not sure how I feel and what I think about coming to the end of this treatment. I do know that I am thankful to God for getting me and the rest of my family through the last little while. I am also thankful for the many, many people who have played a part in caring for us in any way, and there have been myriad ways.
I feel there's more to say about this somewhat auspicious day, but my brain is still chemo-ed so there's not much getting through. Maybe another day....
