No 5th Round, get ready to celebrate

Alright, I was pretty convinced that I'd be doing a 5th round of chemo and today told my Dr., "Yes, I'd like to go ahead and do it."  Surprisingly, she was pretty resistant and said that she had no medical evidence that a 5th round would be beneficial.  She also indicated that what led her to suggest a 5th round was how well I've been doing with my chemo and often they will use a 5th and 6th round when the tumor has been shown to be resistant or large.  Neither has been the case for me, so it looks like this last round will be it for my chemo and it will be onto radiation.

I'm going to start planning the "Chemo shmeemo" party!!!!
