I did it!
Made it through 8 chemo treatments on the dose dense cycle (every 2 weeks!). And I am done with chemo! I cannot believe that just 15 weeks ago, I was embarking on my chemo journey, scared of what lie ahead, but determined to make it through and kick ass. And now, 15 weeks later, I did it with more courage, determination, grace and strength than I EVER thought I had. Each week of success and support I gained more strength! In June of 2007, I never dreamed life would throw me this curve ball, giving me a whole new lease on life.
It really was such a fantastic day at Pluta today!
I had almost 20 visitors today at Pluta. And the amazing part - is that it was a slow afternoon at Pluta and we had the whole chemo room to ourselves for the last hour or so of my treatment (like it was meant to be!). We just sat in a big circle, chatted, laughed, ate chocolate cake and had a champagne toast! Just such a wonderful gift from my friends and family showing such a huge amount of support! Thank you all - who were able to come by, and who sent messages and called because they could not be there physically, but were there in thought!
Thank you for all the flowers, the cakes, the champagne, the cards upon cards of well wishes, the tears, the laughter, the support and prayers that have helped me gain strength through this process and gave me such joy today!
Love, Christy

It was nice be able to come out to Pluta and to share that milestone with you. This has been a life changing experience for more than you. Onward to the next milestone and to celebrating your success at kicking cancer's butt.

Congratulations Michele on the success of your first boob cake. I know who to call when I need one!

Christy. You did it with help from all your many friends, family and prayers that were answered by our God. You are a blessing to all of us. Thank you. Sorry we could not be with you for this wonderful day you had. Keith represented your family. You were in Sue's and my prayers all day and will continue to be. We love you and are so proud of the woman you are. Love, Dad & Sue
