Graduation Day

My graduation outfit.

Didn't mind the alarm going off at 6:30 this morning. That was the introduction to the first day of the rest of my life. I got up, put on a pot of coffee, showered and dressed and took off for the Cancer Center. I had to be there at 7:20 for my regularly scheduled radiation treatment. There was just one thing different about today's treatment. It was my last. They call it your graduation day. No cap and gown...just a Cancer Center t-shirt which they present to you as your graduation gift. I never thought I could get so excited about a t-shirt. I even wore it to work...the first time I've ever worn a t-shirt to the office. But I earned this and I really wanted to wear it. Shirts and hugs...that is how they end the seven week treatment session. They are such great people there. I really will miss seeing them every day. They are so good at making the treatment sessions a positive experience.  I do have to go back for a follow up exam in a couple of weeks but the treatment schedule is complete. Next up...hormone blocker medication. And, of course, there is the ever-present chemo. But I can really see it now...the light, that is. Never thought it would happen but I can almost hear the sound of the surf calling my name as well. One of these days...
