On Friday I went to a meeting – in person – without a mask. I realized that it has been the first time in at least 4 months that I have been in a room with people without both them and me wearing a mask.

When I went through cancer the first time, I didn’t really worry too much about getting sick during chemo. I was taking a white blood cell booster which gave me the freedom to socialize without worrying too much. This time we had to worry about the various respiratory viruses going around.

Mostly I want to celebrate this milestone in my treatment. I’m done chemo (yay). I still have a ways to go – but the acute ugly is done. I’m not looking forward to hormone therapy – but I’ll cross that bridge when I get there. Hopefully the cocktail they are recommending this time will be better than what I tried before.
