This amazingly difficult journey began almost 6 months ago when I received the most devastating news I could have ever imagined ... it's cancer ... breast cancer .... at 34 years old! At that point, the road looked SO long ... almost unbearable ... and absolutely terrifying. Looking back, though, I feel so very blessed ... and proud of what I have managed to accomplish ... I'VE MADE IT SO FAR!
Today, we went through the usual appointments ... blood work, a visit with Dr. O'Regan, and treatment. Thankfully, the day went very smoothly! As we left Emory this afternoon, I was greeted by a perfect day ... not a typical winter day ... a warm, sunny day filled with beautiful blue skies. It was almost as if it was a gift from God ... showing me what lies ahead ... and I am so very grateful for it!
Round 8 ... DONE ...
My FINAL day in the infusion lab ... it feels SO good!
INFUSION COMPLETE ... FOREVER!
This morning, I wasn't sure how I would feel at the end of the day. In recent weeks, I have been gripped by fear and although I continue to work through it, today I feel relieved ... filled with hope and excitement for what the future holds ...
Here's to the END of chemotherapy and one HUGE step closer to the finish line ... and CANCER-FREE ...
