Twas the night before chemo ends

and all through the house, things are very status quo, I just kissed my spouse. We're celebrating surviving and not giving in, for cancer I've slayed, and I'm still able to grin.  There's been surgery and chemo, and tanning salons, endless doctors to visit and new wigs to don

But there've been tons of positives, I'll list some of them here

Such as not shaving my legs and no mascara to smear

I got to be crafty with my Sis during treatments

With huge thanks to Pamela for all of the chemo kits

We'd cut and we'd glue until my crossed eyes got bleary

Then she'd tell me to stop when the chemo made me weary

When the going gets tough the tough don't give in

So I hit up my fabulous photographer friend

Suzette strode to town with her camera and lights

To capture a glimpse of a point in my life

That could have been tortuous depressing and sad

but instead she made me feel beautiful, attractive, and glad

that I have such a friend who through thickness and thin

can stick by me and giggle and laugh to the end

So the end is in sight, a celebration awaits

We're heading to Phoenix to see da-da-da-dah... George Strait

A night much anticipated, we both need some fun

So wish us well on our adventure, to the land of the sun.

Thanks for hanging in for the past 14 months.  It's a journey I couldn't have navigated without the support of my incredible friends and family.  Pics to follow...

Congratulations Sue!!! The last chemo treatment is a huge victory and a sigh of relief. You have so much to be proud of, you hung in and NEVER GAVE UP! You are an inspiration to all of us (even those of us who are breast cancer survivors). Keep laughing, smiling and enjoying the ride of life.

Sue: You have found out how very strong you are through this process and that friends, prayer and GOD were with you the whole time. I think of you often and so happy to hear that chemo has ended. When is the next bike ride? I am sure you have goals. Christina
