I Rang the Bell!

Today was my final chemo infusion! I still have, I dunno, maybe a year left on my journey to getting fully finished and back to normal life, but chemo is the worst of the process, I think.

A big celebration at infusion centers is to ring a bell, surrounded by nurses and staff cheering for you. It was surreal and magical and a great way to close this chapter.

Beside the Bell is this poem, which I read before ringing.

Ring this bell

Three times well

Its toll to clearly say,

My treatment's done

This course is run

And I am on my way!

I got a little teary halfway through. Dad got a lot teary, but I'm so glad he was here with me!

Here are a few pictures of the day:

 Six treatments, in the books!

Getting ready to ring.

I also got a certificate that says I completed my chemo treatment.

Hugs from Dad, who has always been my biggest cheerleader.

I know I already said so on Facebook, but I couldn't have gotten here without my friends and family giving me SO much help and kindness and support!
