I have finally completed my radiation treatments and my oral chemotherapy regimen. I took my last chemo pill Sunday night. My last radiation treatment was Monday, December 20. I don't think that I've been counting down to any day so anxiously in a long time.
I took the girls at the radiation office some of my homemade Christmas cookies as a thank you for the wonderful care that they gave me. Everyone there (the radiation therapists, my nurse, and my doctor) were all so kind and caring. I felt that they really got to know me and I got to know them too. Each morning as I was getting ready for my treatment we'd chat about various things, but mostly the important things like our kids and Christmas.
After my last treatment, I got to take my mask home with me. How exciting!? As I was leaving the office, each and every person that was a part of my treatment team stopped what they were doing to wish me well and give me a hug. Two of the girls even chased me down to stop me so that they could say goodbye. Everyone told me that they would continue to think about me and pray that I would stay healthy. While everyone was so friendly, I hope that I never have to see those people again!
On Monday evening, Kyle, Peyton, Hunter, my parents, Jeremy, and I went out to dinner to celebrate the end of my treatment. It was an entertaining evening, as Hunter peed on my mom when she changed his diaper, then Hunter spit up on her after she fed him his bottle, and my brother knocked over an entire soda onto my dad's lap.
I want everyone to know how much their support has meant to me during this ordeal. And now that it is over, bring on Christmas!
