So excited for today. Last day of external radiation! Woohoo! When we walked into radiation first thing they said was "last one!" I almost started with the water works but held back. We checked in and went to the waiting area. I sat down for just a second and therapist Carol Ann came out to get me. I wasn't ready. I wanted to get my ipod so I had some good music for my last day. Chris brought the girls back and they watched as the therapists got me on the table and ready for radiation. Ellie had not been in the radiation room before so she was watching everything and touching everything. Everyone left the room and it was just me in there. With Cocoa Teas Holy Mount Zion blasting I laid there with happy tears coming out of my eyes. Last buzz of the radiation machine and I could hear the door open and everyone came in the room. The therapist let Millie lower me down with the controller. She was very excited. We walked down the hall to the "celebrate" bell. We got a picture by the bell, and a really bad picture of me ringing the bell. Okay now the waterworks start. Sunglasses on. When I rang the bell, I can hear people in the office clapping for me, for my completion of this crazy radiation therapy I have endured. I receive certificate and lots of smiles and cheers. I am going to miss everyone at radiation, 26 days. I am definitely going to miss all the therapists, they were all very kind and understanding. Thanks to you all!
Tomorrow is another internal radiation. My sister Jennifer is coming up to stay over to watch the girls while we go to the hospital. We all went to Training Table for a celebration burger and fries. Can't wait to get tomorrow over with.
