You know you made it through chemo when...

This is something I started after one of my tough chem treatments.  Please add your own #10 to the list ...

You know you have almost made it through chemo, when ......

#1.  You check your bald head almost on an hour basis for any evidence of hair regrowth.

#2.  You have used the excuse that you are nauseous (even when you aren't) to avoid eating things you don't like.

#3.  The men (and women, I guess) at the grocery store think you are winking at them because of the left eye twitch that you now suffer from.

#4.  You have your oncology doctor's phone number memorized.

#5.  You are excited about the fact that your fuel bills will be reduced over the winter because of the hot flashes.  But then you realize that your electricity bills will increase because of the fan that you run all night to cool yourself down.

#6.  You use the excuse of "chemo brain" more than three times per day for any work-related blunders or forgetfulness.

#7.  You realize that you have saved hundreds of dollars by not going to the highly overpriced hair salon.

#8.  The staff at the chemo clinic give you a high five when you arrive for treatment.

#9.  Your medical bills total more than what you make in a year.

#10.  Your steroid-induced grocery bills total more than what make in a year.

Your doctor take the blame for the weight that you gained while on steroids and lexapro.
