What’s next?

Immunotherapy infusion #10 out of 13 this morning. I’m getting there!! 😊

Oh, and big news – Dana Farber got new masks – cute peach colored ones instead of blue. 😜 (I know, I know, I really have no life if this is news lol).

I can’t wait to be done. Looking ahead, I think my last infusion will be in April. Then I assume I’ll have to get my port taken out at some point, not sure when. I’ll have another mammogram this summer. Many other follow up appointments, I’m sure.

It seems like I’ll be in Phase 2 Group 4 for the vaccine (people with one medical condition). Right now in Massachusetts they’re on Phase 2 Group 1 (people 75+). Hoping I can get the vaccine by April or May, but that may be overly optimistic.

Right now I’m focusing on getting myself as healthy as I can. I spent most of 2020 being pretty sedentary and eating a lot of carbs to help with the chemo nausea. It’s time to focus on healthy eating and being active so I can give myself the best possible chance of staying cancer free! I started the health app Noom six weeks ago and I’m so happy with how it’s going. I’m eating more nutritious foods, drinking more water, being more active, and I’m seeing the results already. I’m down 11 pounds, and I feel so much healthier and have more energy. (If anyone is considering Noom, I’m happy to tell you more about it. I really like the program).

Anyway, I’m ready to MOVE ON with my life. I can’t wait to get a job. See family and friends more often. Send the kids back to school. (Ben’s going to kindergarten in September!) Even little things like grocery shopping (never thought I’d miss that hahaha). Can’t wait. Still won’t happen for a while until Eric and I are vaccinated but I’m looking forward to so much this year. 😀
