MY LAST CHEMO - WHAT A GREAT DAY!

5/9/2014

Yesterday was my LAST CHEMO! 

Want to know how I feel about it?  Well, I don't know. I have conflicted feelings. Trust me, I am so happy that chemo has ended, but right now my thoughts are on how crappy I feel because it's the day after.  I need a few days before I will be able to write any words of wisdom. Plus, I have a funny story to tell about how upset I was on the morning of my last chemo - and all the frustration and anger that was directed toward Lucia (my better half), come to find out later in the day that my feelings were unfounded...  But you'll have to wait for that story...

This post is to thank all the people who made my LAST CHEMO a very memorable one!  Trust me, if you know someone going through this process - make sure to acknowledge that last treatment day!  It is extremely important to make a big deal, because it is a BIG deal to the cancer patient.  Even if they say it isn't.

Here are the photos from my LAST CHEMO day!  Ps  Huge thanks to all those who wrote posts and messages of support on my facebook page - just because you aren't in these photos, doesn't mean I don't totally appreciate the time out of your day that you took to write a quick comment sending you love.  THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Awwweee! Thanks Kell! Makes me teary eyed when I look back at the surgery pics and see that you took the time to join in on the pink gathering at the hospital that day! I am blessed to have had you for a friend all these years!

I prefer not to be defined by cancer, but my life has certainly changed because of it.
Today, the simplicity of life and finding financial freedom is what drives me.
Thanks for following my journey!
