Last Chemotherapy Treatment

Well today was my last chemotherapy treatment. I am amazed that it has been 15 months since I started treatment with Dr Haslam. His office staff has been so wonderful to me and I can never repay them for all they have done especially their kindness and caring. I often wonder if I would even be alive if I hadn't found Dr. Wintch, Dr Haslam, and Dr Hyde. IHC has been an amazing oasis of kindness and professional treatment. It seems that my care team was more like old friends than life doctors. What a wonderful bunch.

They tell me the hard part is yet to come because now that treatment is over most patients feel like they are cut loose and just sit and wait for the other shoe to drop. I am working hard not to feel that way and instead trying to really explore what the word faith means and work on having it. In my life it has often seemed that people used the word to convey that they "had faith that the lord would answer their prayers" or the Lord would do this or that. That always seemed so strange to me. So I have decided that real true faith is realizing that you don't have to ask God for this or that, you just have to believe that whatever happens is your path and faith comes in when you believe God knows what he is doing and if anything you pray for the strength to quietly and with dignity allow that path to unfold in front of you and say,"Aso it's all perfect.
This is my nurse Heather. She was with me from the first treatment and became a good friend and ray of sunshine.
This is my nuse Lee, she is from Mesquite area and came on board when I was about 2/3 done. She was a wonderful person.
