No more radiation for me! Happy, happy, happy dance, grin

For awhile it seemed like this day would never come. Thanks so much for all the help and support you all gave me. This would have been so much harder without the knowledge and compassion of everyone here.

Now, just three more Erbitux infusions and I'm finished with treatments altogether. Yeehaw!
