I graduated from Chemo!!! Woo-hoo!!!

This is a short post to just mark the END of this first leg of the crazy adventure I’m on.  Today went without a hitch, I even fell asleep in the middle of chemo, veteran of four now and know the ropes.  I think of the people that have to come back for much more and my heart goes out to them. The nurses in the chemo lab are true heroes too!

I think of the different certificates I’ve received in my life, how hard I’ve worked for some of them, others not so much.  This IS a certificate of completion of a difficult but rich course and hey I’m proud I came through with a good amount of grace intact! My favorite sticker they gave me was "You can't scare me, I've been through Chemo!".

Holly is my rock, my angel, my mom through this.  Good loard! I would have been a mess without her!  She is such a precious gift.  She and I spent last weekend up in the Cazadero mountains at a QiGong retreat.  She is in a certification program and I got to tag along.  We did lots of QiGong in clear mountain air, beautiful weather, beautiful healers and lots of good Qi directed at me.  Stopping a Kaiser Sunday on the way home to do the pre-chemo blood labs, I was surprised when I got the results and they were all really good.  Everything within normal range and the immune system working good! 

So, there will be more but for now I’m celebrating this part as OVER!!!  And who cares if I get the funky’s for a few days – I don’t have to go back!!  Yippee!!

Stay tuned for part two.
