My last Folfox treatment is scheduled for Friday, provided my platlets are good. We switched from every 2 weeks to 3 weeks because my counts have been too low at the 2 week mark.
I met with my oncologist today. She said for me to keep my port for about a year. Baseline CT scan 8 weeks after last chemo and then every 3 months for 2 years, then switch to every 6 months.
Oncologist is going to continue my Sandostatin shots for diarrhea once a month, and flush port at the same appointment. That shot is so helpful and gives me very normal bowel movement/life for 3 weeks. On the 4th week I have to add Lomotol.
I am feeling pretty good tonight. I want that last chemo, but on the other hand...dreading the being sick...it really knocks me off my feet for a few days. But, at least this time I do not have to have the Neulasta shot. I have been surrounded by flu, pneumonia and bronchial infections all winter and did not get sick 1x myself. So yay for Neulasta, but oh the side effects.
So, I am crossing 1 finish line. Bittersweet. My sister is nearing her finish line too, but her finish line is with Hospice.
Still, around treatment 5 I thought this date was very far away, and now it is just in a few days. Hang in there everybody!
