Chemo is Over!!!


I am finally finished with chemo!! I know there should be bells and whistles, but you just have to imagine them in your head. It took me a while to update this, because unbelievably I was in a funk when I finished chemo. To be honest, I was sad. I felt like part of my life was over. I know that sounds insane when I am fighting for my life, but it is true. I have been battling this for so long that it has become my life. I was a chemo patient, a cancer victim. Now, I am neither of those things. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled to be done with that part. It is a strange experience but I believe a healthy one. I met with the radiation guys today. I finally got a tattoo! In fact, I got 3 of them! They are only pin pricks but what the hell! So, I got my markings and I had a CAT scan. Now they are going to map everything so the radiation is designed specifically to my body. I will start radiation in about 1 1/2 weeks. So, what do I do with this free time! I plan on walking. I just registered with the 3 day walk for breast cancer, so at the end of November I will be walking 60 miles in 3 days with some of my girlfriends! I am really looking forward to it! It will be a painful 3 days I am sure, but it will also be 3 days of healing. Other then that, I have been spending my time watching Carra play softball and of course the big surprise trip to Disneyland. We just got back last night and we had a blast. I am hoping to get my pictures on the computer soon so when I do I will post some. I hope this finds everyone well. I am finally starting to feel good, so lunch anyone?

Hi Susie,
