Done

Today was my last day of radiation. I made my last trip across all the bridges to the nice technicians who zapped me with powerful, un-guaranteed radiation beams. And that's it. There will be a follow up appointment in 6 weeks and scans every 6 months for a while, and hopefully I will get this horrible port out of my chest soon....but no more chemo, no more radiation, done done done. I've been waiting so long for this day and I am, of course, very glad that it's over, but somehow I thought I'd be happier. I guess it's kind of like coming to the end of a very tough journey. One that leaves you unable to eat solid food, missing your hair, and really really tired. So while treatment is over, I've still got a bit of recovering to do. Thankfully and appropriately, the spell of rotten rainy weather here in Boston ended today and the sun came out. Tomorrow the sun will be out too and I'll get better one day at a time.
