At my last radiation treatment, I got to ring the bell. I never knew what that bell meant every day that I walked passed it. But on Wednesday, I found out. It represents the end to the treatment but also a new beginning. The plaque states: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. Smile- this is one of those moments!" The bell plaque says: Ring this bell three times well. Its toll to clearly say, My treatment's done, this course is run and I am on my way!
The girls at the radiation center (and guys!) are terrific!! They are so good at keeping this as normal as possible (if that is possible) by talking about their families, boy scouts, letting Erin come and watch twice and showing her the "ropes".
But I take celebration in the fact that I don't have to get up early in the morning every day (I am not a morning person!!) and that I am not feeling sick. And the tiredness is slowly going away. My armpit is healing and my hair is growing back!!
So the reminders this terribly cancer has given me that I see and experience everyday, is going, going, going soon to be gone!
I actually shaved my legs for the first time!!! I like normal. I want normal back and it is coming.
I praise God that he has gotten me through this ordeal to the other side. It has drawn me closer to him. Sometimes it takes the storms to see what God can do for you. HE has done amazing works in me and I know He will continue to do them.
So for those out there going through storms yourself (and you know who you are), I continue to pray for your health, strength, endurance and faith with God, He will take you through it to the other side.
1 Corinthians 14:15, "What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind also."
Love to all,
