It's Thursday night in the big city of Cottonwood, Arizona and I AM ALL DONE WITH TREATMENT!!!! Yippee!! laugh laugh

I got my second "graduation" certificate yesterday after my last radiation and was told that I had better have "learned all the material" this time around. I know I learned all I wanted to know. I hope my neck and lymph nodes got the message...

The tough part, of course, is the waiting now for future MRIs, PETs, etc. My first MRI is scheduled for four weeks from now, with a PET to follow in 2-3 months...

It's been a crazy ride, and I thank each of you for your support and prayers throughout it all.
