Yesterday was my brother's graduation day. Graduation day from chemo and radiation treatments. Now we wait. We wait weeks until he tests again to see if the treatments did their job. We continue prayers for healing, prayers for this fight against the most hated disease ever. But we also rejoice. We rejoice that his treatments are done. We rejoice that his attitude never wavered. We rejoiced that his 5 1/2 weeks of inconvenience is done. We rejoice in the angels called doctors and nurses that were by his side the entire time, and continue to be there. We rejoice that for now, the daily trips to Houston have subsided. We rejoice in the miracle of medicine.
Waiting to go back for his last treatment....
I can't explain how honored I felt to be there yesterday to see my brother ring that bell...how grateful I felt he was able to do this. Choking up walking back and letting the tears fall as he stood there ringing that bell with a huge smile on his face. He's kicking cancer's ass, just as he said he would.
His radiation nurses....
Dr. Komaki and Dr. Chad (radiation)
It was an awesome day for sure....
