The big day is here! The Chemo cycles are officially over and I’m looking forward to getting a few things back like my immune system, normal blood work, my full energy level, and my hair (or what’s left of it \ud83d\ude42 ).  Next milestone will be the PET scan on November 1st, and the subsequent doctors report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

From checkin to checkout, 45 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
