Let the chemo begin.....

I went on Friday to see Dr. Oncologist and he informed me that the PET scan and the bone marrow test both show NOTHING!!! Which obviously is great news. So that means I am still at stage II B. So he thinks I will need 4-6 cycles of chemo. Each cycle is 2 treatments. Every other week so each cycle is a month. He was like ok you can start today!?!?!?!! That is when I went into shock and almost started to bawl like my little Hudson when he is hungry! I told him that I was not expecting to start at that visit and that I would like to be in normal condition for Railey's first day of school. So he said I could wait. So I will be starting next Monday. He had me go to the "chemo room" and meet the nurses and get some info on my treatment. I got to see what it is like. There were about four people in there getting chemo when I went in. They are just hanging out reading books and stuff, nothing out of the ordinary...no one is throwing up or uncomfortable. Just chillin', except for the IV attatched to a bag dripping the toxic yet lifesaving chemo drugs. My ride home from the doc that day was pretty emotional because now that I saw the room and what I will be doing reality has set in. I just want to get it over with now..............and move on.
