Over One Big Hump

I finished radiation today and was showered by confetti by the staff and my family. I gave all of the staff hugs and thanked as best as I could with no voice. I had hoped to feel great today and my body had other plans after a morning feast of phlegm. I got sick right before Mom and I left for treatment. It has been quite a journey and we're not quite finished yet. I have a followup appointment in 6 weeks when I hope to be declared cancer-free. Until then, I guess I am in limbo as I await my body to return to some state of normalcy. Looking forward to a meal of some real food I can put in my mouth and savor. Giving thanks for the healing I am given every day--a gift!
