I am all done!

Yesterday I went to Rexburg for my last cancer treatment. I have been on a "light-weight" chemo called Herceptin for a year now. I had to go every 3 weeks and the treatment took about an hour (although toward the last they sped them up for me so they only took 1/2 hour.) Dennis couldn't take me yesterday because he is in his first week of school. So I asked my mom to come with me for my last time. She was happy to come and we had a fun day! Thanks goes to Julianna for tending Drew and Mary yesterday. She also helped with my kids numerous times throughout the year.

One day toward the beginning of my year of Herceptin, I was grumbling to myself about having to go do this thing. But I think the Spirit touched my heart and helped me to be calm about it. Plus! Dennis always took me (with the exception of only twice). I love spending the day with my husband and we got to do it every 3 weeks for a year. I will truly miss these days with Dennis. For the most part it was actually a pleasant experience. (That said, I'm NOT recommending it!)

This is my doctor's office and where I went for chemo.Here is the infusion room. Around the edges are 10 chairs (recliners) where the *lucky* recipient of chemo sits. On the left is Brenda. I should have taken a picture of all the nurses (they are all wonderful!) But I didn't think about it. I am the first person I ever saw take pictures here. No one probably thinks about it or even wants to...Now we are looking at the other end of the room and the nurses station. I think they have storage up those stairs.

I had to go on my birthday. My girls came that day. Camille took this picture.I have a port that I got the chemo through. I will get it removed toward the end of September.

Behind the building is this waterfall. You can see it from the chemo room windows. Camille took this picture also.

This is my graduation diploma and gift. It is an I.V. bottle with M&Ms in it. They said they put so many bad things in me that now they were giving me something good. I thought that was cute.
