Wow...I can't believe I'm at the end of CHEMO.  5 months out of my life has been dedicated to Chemotherapy.  Putting poison into my body to kill any cancer cells and killing good cell along the way. I hate you CHEMO...BUT you are saving my life, so THANK YOU!   I haven't posted in this last month due to the side effects hitting hard.   Extreme fatigue  Neuropathy -    Weakness, numbness, and pain from nerve damage, usually in the hands and feet . Kids home for Summer - counts as side effects My last several CHEMO treatments I was accompanied by my sweet Family & friends. My brother Manasseh came to a couple and my friend Whitney. Along with my Uncle Bruce and Aunty Cindy. Then my sister Melahn and my niece Tyler came with  my Twins Taimana & Tiana. My Aunt Celeste came with my two oldest Kaia & Deion.
