Yesterday I hit yet another milestone – the end of RAY-DIATION! As a traditional signal of this grand finale at the Mayo, I was led back to the waiting area and encouraged to hit the cowbell three times, with my ray-diation nurses looking proudly on. I have heard that bell ring many times in the past month, and am so grateful that this time, it was my turn. I couldn’t help but cry, real tears of pure joy this time. I’ll celebrate in a week or so, when my body can enjoy what my heart and soul are doing cartwheels over now. Just need some healing time…but, I am already visualizng life in the “new norm”…a glass of wine with dinner, dinner out at a restaurant, in fact, just about any activity outside of the confines of my desert sanctuary…so many things to be rediscovered and cherished anew…
