No mas chemo!!





The pictures are a little out of order, but you get the general idea.  This is Mike's last chemo!!  He got disconnected from it and had a little celebration by ringing the golden bell!  He took the kids with him and they got to meet Lisa, his chemo nurse.  She has been a godsend through this whole thing.  She answered every one of our dumb questions and was a good listening ear every time Mike went in.  We are so grateful for her.  It has been a long hard road.  Chemotherapy itself is very hard on the body.  Mike was sick a lot and missed a lot of work.  He felt like not doing anything and that is hard when you have a young family like we do and they are busy and WANT to do stuff.  He was a trooper and never let him get him too down.  Radiation was also really hard on his body.  We stopped it early because of the damage it was doing to his digestive system.  All in all we have learned to be patient and not take any day of life for granted during this ordeal.
