Surviving Chemotherapy Blog is Coming to an End

I feel my "Surviving Chemotherapy" blog has come to the point where its worn out its intent. When I started this blog, I wanted to provide a way for family and friends to check in on me and find out how I was doing day to day. It also helped me to record patterns of side effects from treatment to treatment. I believe it succeeded in both ways. But my chemotherapy treatments are complete and the side effects have all but faded away. I find myself chatting more and more about my outings, my hobbies or family events, and less about the treatments and their effects on me. It is time to bring this blog to an end. Tuesday is my last day of medical leave and will also be my last blog entry. With a release to return to work on Wednesday, I can confidently say "I survived my chemotherapy".

So tomorrow I visit my oncologist to find out what happens next and how long I need to wait before I have the final surgery that completes the reconstruction process started back in October. It will be the last information I have to share that is related to my chemotherapy treatments and will bring the topic to rest. And I am more than ready to move on.
