Yesterday was my last radiation treatment.
A total of 15 treatments finished!
I believe I am now considered NED (no evidence of disease)
I brought cookies for my amazing radiation team.
They took great care of me and made my treatments easier.
I got a certificate and everything, LOL.
They invited me to come back and visit them, haha.
Such sweet people.
They came out into the hall with me and cheered for me when I got to ring the bell too.
Chris took this video of me ringing the bell while my team cheered me on!
As you walk into the building for treatment there is a rock garden.
People paint rocks with encouraging words, and sayings, memorials to loved ones, and things like you beat this, or we love you mom etc.
As we were walking into the building on this day some of the workers were outside at a table painting rocks and invited us to join them on our way out.
I was so excited to have a rock there!
Imagine my surprise when I walked out and saw this in the garden.
Chris took a rock home and painted it for me!
I burst into tears and cried into his shoulder.
He teared up as we stood there, overwhelmed in the moment with how fortunate we were.
Fortunate that the BC was managable.
Fortunate that the big treatments were over.
Fortunate that God loved me enough to save me.
Next week I will have a bone scan before I begin on an aromatase inhibitor.
I have 2 weeks before I begin that.
I'm not going to lie, that makes me really nervous.
It starves the body of Estrogen (which my cancer needs to grow).
No Estrogen? No cancer growth.
I pray that God will continue to hold me in his arms and get us through this as well.
So far He has been SO good to me.
In the mean time.
I SEW BEAT THIS!
