DONE!!!

MAN! October has been packed FULL of stuff already. We have been go go go and it has been a welcomed change of pace. ViviAnne received her LAST DOSE OF CHEMO 9 days ago and her LAST DOSE OF STEROIDS 4 days ago!! HAPPY DAY!! We can start the 6 month detox time and then begin to know our little girl again. Unaltered, no tummy aches, no fuzzy head and no sore body!!!! After 26 months and 3 weeks of chemo we are DONE!!!

She will keep her port until her next round of blood work. And Dr. A said that "WHEN her blood work comes back CANCER FREE" we will remove the port the next week probably. Not IF her blood work comes back cancer free but WHEN!!! How great is that?!? The doctor who has been with her the closest through all this is in the positive mindset that this journey is over for her. Our prayers is that she will NEVER have to walk this journey again. That has been my prayer for so long. One, to not lose her to a complication and two for her not to relapse. With Leukemia it is the complications that seem to be the biggest threat. BUT NO MORE. Not for now! And hopefully not ever!!!

Figuring out our Non-Cancer life sounds like a life I want to learn. Cause learning the Cancer life was NOT something I wanted to learn at all. No one wants to learn to live day to day. Now I have to figure out how NOT to live day by day. But I am willing and wanting to learn this new life. BRING IT ON!!!

Thank you to everyone out there who has supported us, prayed for us, laughed with us, cried with us and listened to us vent!! We have met great people along the way and I am so thankful to my Noogie Land Moms and Chemo Moms. I am so thankful for my Non-Cancer friends who have stuck by me/us too! The Lord has placed you all in our lives at the right moments and I am so thankful!!
