DONE

I had my final radiation appointment last Monday, which means that I'm done treatment.

Let that sink in for a moment.

I'M DONE!!!!

I saw my oncologist on Tuesday to find out about follow-up.  I'll be getting another PET scan, but that won't be until February to give my body a chance to recover.  I get to have my port removed next Tuesday.  The only thing I have between then and February is a follow-up office visit with my radiation oncologist mid-December.

I'm relieved and I'm excited.  Life can start to move forward again.  And we continue to celebrate the small as well as the large - things like going to get a real haircut yesterday, because that means I have enough hair again for that to be needed!

The most important thing for the next few weeks is to enjoy the holidays - doctor's orders.  I think I can manage that :)
