Come Out, Come Out, Whoever You Are!

TUESDAY IS THE LAST CHEMO!!! Wahoooooo!!!

I fully dread it but I am SO glad to be at the finish line.
So - in honor of the last chemo, I am requesting that
ALL READERS LEAVE A COMMENT ON THIS POST. I'm serious ya'll.
Come on now - I know you feel a little silly or don't know what to say. Just say a simple hi and sign your name. I know there are lots of you that read but never comment. It will please me to no end to find out all who come here. Call me an attention hound, but it will help me to get through the next few days to see all of your names. Indulge me please!

And just because you've told me before that you read, doesn't mean you are off the hook. And incompetence isn't an excuse either. If you have trouble leaving a comment, click the Label titled "Leaving Comments" on the bar at the right hand side of the page. You will find instructions there to help you.

Ali Ali Oxen Free! Come out, come out whoever you are!

Sherri Jo,

It's so wonderful to be on the downside of all this. You have crossed the finish line and now just need to get back in top form. You sounded great this morning. I'm looking forward to seeing you in DC soon!

Sending wishes for joy and good health - Teresa Rafael

You have been an inspiration to me, SJ. I'd like to think I would have your strength if faced with cancer!!
I better get to LR soon if I want to see your shinny head. Those hairs come back pretty quickly on some people.
Love you much, Gail

I think this calls for a fire escape, some emptied beer bottles, and a whole lotta laughin'! I am SO proud to know you!

If I unscramble the funny looking verification letters on this post a bit, it reads "what joy." Joyful indeed that this chemo stuff is finis!

TJ, you reminded me of another favorite:
Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audientior ito.

"Yield thou not to adversity, but press on more bravely."

You Brave, SJ!

I'm late catching up......but it is great news. I doubt that you feel too gunho about it today....Post Chemo day #3....but just remember, you now have it behind you. And you have conquered one heck of a B@#$%. Catch you on the other side.

You are an awesome fighter and an inspiration to all of those that have a similar road to follow.

Thinking of you

I never leave comments on people's blogs - I prefer to be a lurker :)
But on such a special occasion, how can I not?

I wish for you the very best. Good luck and take care.

I've been reading through your archives and appreciate how honest you are. I will be starting chemo next month and even though I'm scared, I know if you can make it through, so can I!
