Well, we were excited, ecstatic, and elated beyond description to be done with chemo on July 22! Did I mention I got less than 4 hours of sleep the night before because I was too antsy and excited about being done?
Turns out, July 22 turned out to be more like April 1 for us. While Kyle is technically done with his "chemo", he still has to go back for two more months of getting the extra drug called aredia. We did not find this out until the middle of the treatment last week. It was very disappointing to receive this news. At first, we just thought they were joking, then we were pretty upset, and then we were just sad the rest of the day. We went in with the highest hopes and expectations that we were done with the dungeon, but it turns out we aren't! I cried when we came home because some friends left a bunch of "Congratulations" and "You Did it!" balloons. It was such a sweet gesture, but it just reminded us again, of how we aren't at the end yet. We've accepted it more now that we've had a few days to let it sink in. We realize it's not the end of the world, but it is still extremely disheartening knowing we're not really done. Not to mention, we are a little irritated that our doctor somehow failed to mention this information to us over the last 7 months that we've seen him! There's no point in being mad now because what's happened has happened, but still, a little ridiculous, right?

So lame! What if you had planned a big trip or something?! I think you should do some major feedback on that doctor and the "care" you have received.
