• Graduation Day

  It is Graduation Day, and I am so excited.  My last radiation treatment ever.  I will miss some of the people.  It's amazing how you become a team for the short time that you're having treatment.  Because everyone has a set time for treatment every day, you're with the same people in the waiting room every day.  You form bonds as someone is nearing graduation, and someone else is just starting.  People farther down the line can help the newer folks with encouragement and things to look for.  The techs are always there, smiling, hugging, encouraging.

  The nurses and docs are there, too.  Even though they're more busy, they will make the time for you if you need it.

  It'll be a huge change to not be going to radiation oncology every day.  But since I'll still be going to the medical oncology office (just not as often), I'll be able to swing downstairs and see the gang whenever I want.

  Today, we're taking a cake and the camera, so I'll bring Graduation Photos to post later.
