Radiation 30/30 Complete!


Mon. Oct. 1, 2012
Today was my very last day of radiation! Yay! As I was laying on the table getting my tumor zapped by the radiation machine, my thoughts turned to God and I thought about the past six months of my life trying to beat this cancer. I thanked Heavenly Father that I was at this point in my journey and pleaded that these treatments will have done the job in killing off the cancer completely. I also thanked him for the incredible amount of love and support that both I and my family have received during this unexpected journey. As I got up from the table I mentioned to Katie and Dana, the technicians, that this was my last radiation. One of them said she was sad not to see me again, but happy that I made it through everything. Dana disappeared around the corner and then came back with a bottle of Sparkling Cider and a big ‘congratulations!’

I also had my blood drawn first to see if my body responded to the shots last week to raise my white blood cell count. Everything came back normal and looking good. I was very relieved. It feels so awesome to be at this point, but also surreal. I can’t believe I don’t have to go back again tomorrow, but so grateful that it’s a reality.

With a heart full of gratitude, I move forward to let the healing begin and pray for a very positive PET Scan in December. Until then, I plan on making the most of everyday that I’ve been given.
