The tough part for us has been that everyone hears that treatments are over and they automatically think everything is back to "normal". More than one person asked me "are you guys going out to celebrate?" Interesting question considering John is still being fed through a feeding tube. I try to just take each day as it comes. Things don't change day to day, more week to week - baby steps. Best wishes.
