Pre-Chemo #5

So look at that, we're almost done with chemo.  #5 tomorrow and then #6 in three weeks and then that's it.  Or it should be it, anyway.  All signs (and tests) point to the cancer being gone, but I just don't know how certain we can be.  In any case, it's good to be almost done.  It seems like it's taken forever to get here.  I just don't want us to be thinking oh, that's it, everything's clear if there's some other step we're missing.  Will it return? How long until that happens?  What do we do until then?  Just kind of go on and think that everything is fine?  Is this how it usually happens for women in this position? Do they think it's gone because all signs point to gone and then 9 months later, whoops, it's back?  That's what I hate, there's just so much we don't know.

I suppose we have to just stick with taking it one day at a time. I mean, back in November, we didn't know how much hope we could have because it all just seemed like it was too much to handle.

Yay spring.
