Biopsy done and last chemo!

Jan 16, 2026

Hello everyone. I couldn’t complete my chemo on Monday. When we got there, they had a message from the surgeon. He saw that my platelets increased and wanted the biopsy before the chemo. Chemo was cancelled and I went in Wednesday for my biopsy.

Well, I finally completed my chemo yesterday! They were able to fit me in. Kim came out to sit with me and brought donuts for the nurses, pharmacists, and staff. I had one too, of course. When the staff member took me back to get my BP, weight, and temperature, she asked me if my mom was with me. (hahahahaha). I told her that’s my sister and she brought donuts. She said she was getting a donut before I told on her. Then, the nurse was walking us back to my bay and SHE asked if Kim was my mom. No one’s allowed to have donuts now. Just kidding.

Everything went well with no setbacks. I experienced the typical slurring of words and loopy feeling with Benadryl. The nurse described it as a “cheap thrill”. I’ll certainly miss that part. There’s also a butt burner med. No need for explanation.

After watching Let’s Make A Deal and Price Is Right, Kim wanted to find Kelly Clarkson’s show. When she turned the TV on, my neighbor’s TV came on. Then when she turned it off, the neighbor’s TV went off. She couldn’t get my remote to just control my TV. Same thing happened with the volume. We were laughing so hard! My neighbor told the nurse that something was wrong with her TV (hahahahahaha). Meanwhile, it was Kim’s fault. Of course this made us laugh even harder. I’m surprised she didn’t get kicked out. All she did was cause trouble. Oh, she found a size M sticker in her pants that was jabbing her. She doesn’t wear size M. So, WHO KNOWS where that came from.

At the end of the infusion, I got to ring the bell and sign the quilt. Randy joined us and took video and a picture. All of the nurses were cheering in the hall. Hopefully I won’t ever have to do that again, but the reception was so nice.

They put the Udenyca box on my arm. It went off today around 530. Of course, I forgot about it and thought a bug was stinging me. This one made my arm bleed. I do not like the evil box.

By the way, I just received my biopsy results:
A. Benign Granulation Tissue
B. Suture Granulomas
It’s not more cancer, just healing tissue! Thank you all for your prayers. I really appreciate them and they’re still needed for a clean CT scan. I will keep everyone updated for sure. Sorry this one was so long. It’s Kim’s fault. HUGS
