1 week ago was Diana's last chemo.. It's like losing something...like there is a void...So, that was it?? No more?? Maybe? What's next? Can we go on with our lives??
The bottom line is we are still fighting the after effects of this. Radiation hasn't started yet. That is 6 weeks, everyday, for about 30min a day. That won't even start until this past round of chemo has exited her body..about a month. Guess we won't be heading out of town anytime soon. Oh well. Small price to pay.
Di is feeling good again. She felt a little week physically but mentally she was raring to go! So "Yaaaa!" me. Her strength should be back up here in the next few days.

Last Round folks!
Di and I are sitting in the infusion room getting her last round of chemo!! Where has the time gone? The days went by slow but the weeks flew by. (that doesn't make any sense)
Well, Di's Benefit was a great success! We raised plenty of money and had a good time doing it. About 175 of our closest friends attended. Erin did a fabulous job with the planning and it appeared that all had a good time. Thank you all for coming!! Di was overwhelmed with the great turn out. I personally think she deserved it. Di is such a thought full, caring, giving person. She always gives, so it's very heartwarming that people gave back. I think she was a little worried about attendance...We did well.
Sitting here in the Infusion Room...so this is it??...really?? wow....I wish I could say I would miss it...but who in the hell would miss this? Sicko people I guess.. I hope that the people who come after us have the same great treatment that they gave us...I'm sure that the girls working here will continue their great care for others.
We come back in a month to talk about the future with Dr,McIntyre. We will discuss having kids...or not having kids I suspect. Maybe adopting or surrogacy... We'll see. I'm just glad we made it this far. Really, we are blessed. Life doesn't guarantee anything...just that you will die...Hopefully the time we, or you, spend here is spent with people you love and people that love you. Life can throw you a curve ball. Some people learn to hit curve balls....I was someone that could hit a curve ball...but just because you hit it doesn't mean it will be a home run or even a base hit for that matter. Sometimes you get out. Some wait...they wait until they get a ball that they can hit. Then they drive it to the opposite field for a base hit. Whether you are someone that can hit or someone that walks..you still have to get to first before you get home.. And home....home is were you should want to be. Home is were the people you love are. Sometimes it's not an physical place. Sometimes it's a mental or spiritual place. Either way it's nice to have a home.
I felt like Di and I were home Saturday night at the party. I thank each and everyone of you for being there with us.
(I don't know why I'm making baseball analogies, it's football season)
So.....next step is radiation. That's in about a month. I'll have to update again before then though.
So thanks again people. You helped make an important event very special for Di. That makes me happy. So thanks for making me happy people!!
be kind folks!
