As I pulled away from the docs today I couldn't stop the tears from rolling...
I only have to do this one more time...
I have done this ELEVEN TIMES!
I'm going to be able to eat a salad soon, I'm going to be able to eat an apple soon. You better believe the first date Trent and I got on post chemo we will be eating sushi... lots of raw sushi (I never realized how much I love raw sushi until I couldn't have it anymore.)
I'm going to be able to go to church.
I'm going to be able to go on a run eventually.
I'm going to feel okay about leaving the house without a hat on... eventually. Even just to take the garbage out.
I've never been in prison before... thankfully... but in a lot of ways I've felt like I've been in prison for a while here. I feel like finishing this will give me my freedom back... freedom from this disease and all that comes with it.
Now that is something worth crying a little about don't you think?

WOO HOO!!! YOU GO GIRL.
Only one more!!! Just keep saying that this weekend, I only have to go through this one more time!
You always have the most beautiful words and way of putting things! I just caught up on the last three blog posts. 1st off, good luck with the next month! I am thrilled for #12, I love the post about your morning with Tru, it brought tears to my eyes! You are such an incredible mother! Much love and prayers!
I'm so glad you are almost done! You are a hero!
I got the tingles reading that- I remember feeling the same way- "I can't wait to go to church" I can't wait to have human contact- feeling so imprisoned, not being able to go out anywhere in fear of getting a cold, not wanting to touch anything outside our dwelling- so excited for you
oh, meg! I am so happy for you! You are so close. I am thinking about you!
heck ya its worth crying over. Only they must be happy tears!! You've made it, girl!
I can't imagine the relief and excitement you must be feeling. We are so happy for you!
I am so happy for you! You are almost there...I can't stop my own tears of joy for you!
I am so glad that you are almost done. But don't take it too quick. It takes some time to get back to normal. And you still have a lot ahead of you. I don't want to be a downer, but I would hate for you to expect something that won't happen. Good luck!
Hey Paris, this is Ritz from camp in 2001. I just followed your blog link from Carebear's. Holy cow--I had no idea that this was going on for you! I'm so sorry about the lymphoma, and glad chemo is almost over. I'm also sorry about your little Clayton. I was totally crying as I read about that experience. You are amazing, is all I can say! Good luck with everything.
YAY! I am so happy for you! Good choice on the sushi. I think that would be my pick, too.
AWESOME!!! Thats exciting!
You better believe it sister! Let 'em fly! :)
Oh Meg...I just can't even imagine what you've been through! YEAH for only ONE MORE TIME! GO YOU! So excited for you and your family!
So excited for you! And I think your first (or maybe second) trip should be out to see us to eat some more crab. It doesn't have to be raw though:)
I am sorry I didn't even ask how you are doing when you came to get Tru. I just launched into the story of him getting lost at the park. I am so dumb sometimes. I hope you know you are in my thoughts and prayers regularly. You are almost done - crazy but probably a huge relief for you. Just know that we are still here to help even after your last treatment. I am sure it will be a slow recovery and there will be days when you need Tru to go and play somewhere. Just call me or any of the girls here - we all want to help.
yay! only 9 more days to go! these things lately make me feel like I need to do more with my life while I have the time and energy (not so much energy,but some) I'm excited for you, I cried for you too!
Tears of joy! Celebration is just around the corner!!! Way to go girl!
