HALLELUIA!

If you're reading this (and it's still Friday morning),

I HAVE JUST FINISHED MY LAST ROUND OF RADIATION!

Can I get an AMENNNNNNN-ah!

Can I get a HALLELUIA!

Can I get a PRAISE BE-ah!

(let that inner preacher man out!)

'Cause my sister and my brothers,

I have made it through.

I've made it through two surgeries, months and months of chemotherapy, seven weeks of radiation, biopsies, scans, mamagrams, MRIs, so many needle pokes I couldn't count them if I tried and today,

TODAY

marks the end of the massive hoops and major deals.*

And so I'm getting outta dodge.

I'm heading down the coast and into the central valley to bask in the warmth of my parent's home, to take a class (adding to my tool chest of knowledge and abilities... I'll fill you in later), to visit with friends old and new, and just,

generally,

celebrate!**

So grab whatever you have nearby, coffee, tea, champagne, or a smooth shot of scotch and let's toast to ALL our health!

SALUT!

See you soon lovey doves!

* From here out, I have a plethora of checkup appointments, a list of scans and tests to run (after I heal from the radiation), and this little drug I'll be taking for the next five years.  And God willing, I'll just look back and remember that one crazy year that I had cancer.

** I'll be flitting about on the interwebs as it suits my soul, but know that I'll be back in town and ready to answer all emails and convos two weeks from now.
