THE END!

Mom did it! She stayed strong and courageous throughout this year-long journey, and she had her last chemotherapy treatment today! It has been an emotional day for her. Doctors, needles, and sickness have filled her days this year, so it feels kind of surreal to know that this has really come to an end. She feels a little bit of anxiety and emotion over what the future holds. I think that she'll be shocked when, in a month or two, she starts to remember again what it feels like to be healthy. Here are some pictures of her last treatment at the cancer center and some of the staff that have helped her through this battle.

COPING

Mom is cruising through this last treatment pretty darn smoothly. We can't believe that she only has 10 days left until she'll be free from chemotherapy treatments. We're wondering, though, if she'll have to seek other forms of treatment. She has turned to not-so-healthy habits to cope. ;)
