One year ago today I was finishing up my last chemo treatment. Wow how time flys, eh? I would still have gone through a few more months of the effects of this treatment but the IV part was over. A few things come to mind when I think about this mile stone..
First, does anyone know what day your supposed to start counting from when you calculate how long you're cancer free? Is it from when your first biopsy shows your in remission? or is it from the last chemo treatment? For me, there is a considerable difference between these two dates. If it's the first, then I'm almost at the magic 2 year mark since I got sick in April and went right into remission in May. But if it's the second, then I've still got a year to go.. and while this year flew by, it seems like the next year is so far away. If I think about it logically, it seems like the first option makes sense cuz they consider you in remission when your biopsy shows no signs of cancer. The second makes sense cuz even though there was no signs of cancer and they told me I was in remission, I still had chemo running through my body for a long time and therefore I don't really feel my body was doing anything on its own. I don't know..
Lol.. I forgot the second thing..
