Carlene had her last chemotherapy infusion today. She handled it extremely well, as usual. She is doing well tonight. Carlene is relieved and very happy to be finished. She has one more neulasta injection tomorrow to help with white blood cell growth. Carlene will start on a daily dose of femara in a couple of weeks to inhibit estrogen in her body, as the tumors she had were estrogen receptive. She will have to take femara for five years. At the end of June, Carlene will see her radiation doc to discuss the schedule for follow up scans. It looks like she will receive MRIs and PET scans, alternating every six months. But that hasn't been finalized yet. The docs will also do blood tests looking for telltale markers to keep a close eye on her. We don't know yet what else they may want to do. It feels great to finally be at the end of the treatments. Thanks again for all your prayers and support.
God Bless.
