FINISHED CHEMO!!!

Helped answer some of the miscellaneous questions from a trainee nurse who was helping my nurse out. Showed off my chemo safety necklace. (Biohazard symbol, and an attached tag with a medical alert and chemotherapy on the one side, and a potential bad interaction between chemo side effects and another chronic condition on the other side. tl;dr if not wanting to eat/etc from chemo tanks my blood sugar, it's a medical emergency and I'm not actually drunk in public, call the paramedics and offer me sugar.)

It's a great achievement!

I haven't heard of chemo safety necklaces before, but they sound very useful and practical.

I kind of created it! They let you know that in the first week or so after your chemo, most bodily fluids spills are a chemo biohazard in addition to a regular biohazard. Thus the biohazard necklace. And I had an experience that scared me in retrospect (made some bad food choices, ate very sparingly for a while due to symptoms, aggravated another medical condition) and then realized that if I hadn't been around people who were taking the right kind of care of me, I could have put myself in the hospital or worse. So I custom ordered an engraved dog tag.

It sounded scary! It's great of you to find a way to protect yourself and others.

Thank you! I'm so glad to be done. And it even looks like I'm getting a little hair back!
