Day 155

It's Tuesday and the start of a new journey! Today was Becka's last chemotherapy treatment. She still has to go back for her Aridia treatments and for a Pet scan, but now she can recover, grow hair, have more energy, and relax! It was a long day. I went and got lunch for us and we spent the day together at the hospital. She said that she has mixed feelings. She's glad that the treatments are over for now, but she's going to miss the comfort of knowing that they are giving her what she needs to survive. Today, a man and his wife were sitting beside of us for his first treatment. He has lymphoma and we could tell that he is scared. Becka shared with him how far she's gone and it took a load off of his mind. The initial diagnosis is terrifying, but after the results that Becka got, the fear goes away because we realized that God has future plans for her. With Becka's personality, she's going to be able to ease a lot of scared minds at the Cancer Center. I bought us matching shirts today from the Center's gift shop that say "Cancer Sucks". EVERYONE wanted one!

This journey will never end, but thank the Lord it changes. There is no finish line, there is only today, because that is all we ever have anyway. No one is promised tomorrow, so tonight we are celebrating! She will have to go through a few days of feeling bad, but after that it's all good! Thank you so much for walking with us. We STILL need all of the support we can get. Please keep praying and hoping, and praising God for answering our prayers! He has absolutely come through with flying colors!

I'll keep writing and updating! Good night and God Bless!
