Today I had the last of my radiation treatments. 30
treatments – DONE!
While I’m so glad to be done, I will miss the extraordinary staff
at Emory Winship who treated me. Dr. Crocker, Greg, Tech who always asked about
Sydney, Mark, Orica (aka “Exercise Angel”) – you all have left a profound mark
on my head (smile), and on my heart. I’m blessed to have been cared for by you
all.

Today I opened the last links of my blessings chain. How
wonderful it was to see this artwork from my nephew Joel with the words, “U
made it!”
To all of you who have been praying that my treatments would
be gentle and that God would carry me, your prayers were answered. Thanks be to
God! When giving me my completion papers today, Dr. Crocker told me that most
of his patients don’t do as well as I did. Without a doubt, I know it was the
prayers.
I started back at work (part-time) last week, and wow – what
a warm reception I came in to! Hugs, flowers, cards, special notes, balloons,
and food! Thank you to my dear friends
at EMA for making me feel so loved and supported.

On Thursday we’re heading to NYC to mark something off of
Mom’s bucket list: seeing Barbra Streisand in concert. I cannot wait to see
Mom’s face -- alive with child-like excitement -- to see her favorite
performer. We are going to have SO MUCH FUN!
Cue the Steve Winwood song, “Back In the High Life Again”.
