Anne-

Hi there! You have done so well!!! I am so happy for you that you are almost at the end. I know you will be glad to get back home. You will probably have a few more rough weeks once the treatment ends but you will make it through them too.

I saw my RO today. He says I can go back to 12 hour shifts next week, so I am glad about that. He wants to get a PET CT in three more weeks-- he says he likes to do one then to have a baseline. We'll see if my insurance approves it or not.

Hang in there-
Susan
