Day -2: Another one bites the dust!

So there goes BEAM. As of today 10:32 am I am officially over and done with chemo treatment. Never mind the new side effects (swollen and painful jaw, meh) it just feels too good to say it again and again- no more chemo for this stubborn mule! (*knock on wood* better safe than sorry ;))

Byebye toxic chemicals!!

I was in such a good mood today because of this that I didn´t even try to throw the physiotherapist out of the window. Which I surprisingly still could do if I wanted to because my general condition is still topnotch (for someone receiving high dose chemo for 6 days now ;)). The psycho oncologist however would have been a completely different topic. I guess she already issued her vacation for the next weeks. Again. Hmm, what a coincidence. 

So tomorrow is my “free” day without any infusion (and hopefully still no transfusion!), getting ready for the actual stem cell transplant on Friday. Though my blood values start to drop and therefore my spleen starts to annoy me I still hope that the tides won´t turn and I´m not just too dumb lucky right now. I plan to keep sailing through this as easy and fast as possible. But it never hurts to have a “Fuck the storm” schedule ready, right? ;)

P.S.: I know I promised at the beginning of this whole blog that this was never supposed to be an emotionally cheery thing (besides the occasionally "YOLO, bitches!" but c´mon you try to write about cancer completely without YOLO! ;)). Since I get the feeling I´m failing to keep up this standard here in hospital (sooo chipper and not at all full of hate, jeez!) I decided to give in to posting oh-so-true wisdoms about cancer and life at the end. Let´s start with something not too bright now, shall we? Kinda slowly ease into this "embracing life" sh...tuff.

"I wish cancer got cancer and died." 

Erm, it´s about death. Oh well, let´s try again tomorrow. :)
