From Michon...
Today was the last of 30 days of radiation! It’s been 6 weeks now of good days and bad days and a lot of tears from me. Tears because of the anticipation of what radiation would be like, tears because it was Monday-Friday getting up at 5:30 am for 6 weeks, tears because of the discomfort, tears because the pain I experienced one day was the worst I have experienced in my life, tears because of the support I was experiencing from friends and family. But I am done! We did it! Another finish line crossed! We celebrated by bringing flowers to the woman that checked me in every morning and doughnuts to the valet team and my radiology team! I am so grateful for them; they made these days brighter than they could have been! And now we are headed in the direction of recovery. I have 12 more rounds of chemo left. But every day we’re closer. This has been quite an experience. I like to think I lived a grateful life before any of this started. But I know my smile is much bigger now, I smile on the days it’s hard because I am so lucky to be here! I stay up much later now than I did before because I want every second with family and friends and then I want more! What we’ve been through isn’t something I would wish on anyone, even a bad guy…but it makes me recognize the good that is around every day…maybe the good isn’t something extraordinary, I appreciate the ordinary! I love all of you, even if I don’t know you personally, you’ve supported us and prayed for us! Thank you so much!
