On Wednesday I completed my 12 rounds of chemo and it was my turn to ring the end of chemo bell! I have a video but it will not upload. I will work on it!
In the picture above is me (in my Groucho Marx glasses, as it was Halloween after all) and my 87 year old mother.
All the staff lined up and clapped and cheered for me as I rang the bell. My oncologist, the director of the cancer center, all the lab people, and secretaries. It is a very emotional time.
My sister and my mom came to watch along with my husband and then we went out to lunch. Hurricane Sandy messed up plans for my son to come along as well as my other sister!
I am very emotional right now. So much to process and so much to make plans for. Going back to work in a couple of weeks to see how that goes. Going to check out wedding venues with my son and his fiance. Getting back to living LIFE with out having to check chemo schedules!
Oh Happy Day!!
