TIME TO CELEBRATE AND GIVE THANKS!!

I just finished my last chemo treatment today! I can't believe I made it. I look back at those days I "hit the wall" and thought I just couldn't do another treatment. I couldn't have done it without the support of my good husband, family and friends. Thank you so much to everyone who cheered me on. I can't wait till my daughter and grandchildren get here later this month from Alaska so we can celebrate as a family. I feel every emotional today. I'm grateful for the Lord's grace in getting me to the finish line. He truly surrounded me with "angels". I pray and hope that this is the end and I won't have to fight cancer again. It's been quite a learning experience.
I look forward to growing some hair back, tasting food again, getting rid of my "moon face", getting energy back, going back to work, not having "chemo" brain, and hopefully not having indigestion problems anymore. I will miss not having any time demands on me. It was nice not to be in a hurry. (Not that I could be) To be able to visit with people and not worry about having to be somewhere.
I never minded waiting at the doctor's office if they were running behind. I had nothing else to do. I will miss the patients I came to know as we shared our experiences in the infusion room during our treatments. I gained strength from them. I look forward to working with patients again in the lab. I feel that this experience has made me more patient and compassionate and look forward to making their experience easier. My heart is full of gratitude for all the many blessings I received. Thanks again to you all!
