Reflections on My Last Chemo

My sister Denise, me, Mom and Dad

Monday was my last chemo treatment.  It was a bit bittersweet.  The staff at Northwest Georgia Oncology are wonderful and I will miss my three-week rotation scheule with them.  I will also miss the time of reflection with God the week after treatment.  But I am extremely happy that chemo is over and I can move on to the next phase of recovery.  God certainly blessed me during my treatments.  The side effects were not pleasant, but I found them to be manageable.  I know that not all patients are that lucky so I feel very fortunate. 

My sister Denise and my parents George and Revaughn traveled down from North Carolina to be with me.  It was nice to have them here and share in the experience.  Maria was the first nurse that handled my chemo infusion and I was excited to have her care for me at my last session.  Maria's personality turned the session into a fun and happy experience.

So in the spirit of continuing to find joy in my cancer, I am on the quest to find someone to henna up my head.  So if you know of someone who does henna tattoos, please let me know:)
