Hooray!!! We are now at our home away from home otherwise known as Target House. I'm happy, no thrilled to report that Lance has completed his final round of chemo. His last treatment was one of his easiest. They were able to control his nausea much better this time than last time. He was even able to put away some pizza this evening. My feelings range from wanting to jump and shout to simply wanting to sit down and let out a big sigh of relief.
The Fourth of July will definitely have additional meeting from here on. I'm sure we will always look back and remember Lance finishing up his chemo. Lance may not have finished his battle with cancer unscarred but he will have finished it victorious. We can only hope and pray that there will be no further battles with this terrible disease, as for today we are all happy to be together and looking forward to returning home in the future. Lance will still have physical therapy and a battery of tests that he will need to undergo before he is through. The good thing is not only do we see the light at the end of the tunnel, we can feel the warmth of the sun, or maybe it's just the humidity. Regardless, there's a lot of smiling going on here.
From a Joyous Fletcher Family, thanks everyone for your support. From fiscal support to simple words of encouragement, so many people have helped us through this challenging year. It's absolutely amazes me that Lance has had over 38,000 hits on his web page. Tomorrow Carol and I will celebrate Independence day with the kids and continue to rejoice in Lance's completing his final chemo treatment.
Taking one step at a time,
The Fletcher Family
