Chemo 7 Done!
Well I had chemo #7 yesterday and I must say I feel pretty darn good to... Maybe the chemo is going to take it easy on me again and that sounds ok to me... I'm going to put some pics of me from the chemo suite just to give everyone an idea of just how much drugs they put in to me! Which is an awful lot of drugs yuk! Kinda of a neat thing they do at the chemo suite... They have a bell in lobby and when you do your last chemo you get to come out and ring the bell. It was quite surreal and a nice touch because there so many people in lobby and the nurses also follow you out... So DING DING! that's me ringing the bell followed by lots of cheering,clapping,and hugging. I didn't think this would have such an effect on me but I have to admit it made me cry!!! You know alot of things went through my head when the bell rung, but mostly the gratefulness I felt towards those nurses and the love and care they've given to me... Also how sick to my stomach I was when I heard the london health and science center wants to layoff cancer nurses so it could hire another CEO. Disgusting! Our local MP Deb Matthews give your head a shake get down to the cancer clinic watch those nurses save lives!

Great pics John! I'm so happy you got to ring that bell. Don't think that because your done chemo you get to stop blogging because there would be a few people who might hunt you down just to hear your deays story. You did so well through all of this and I know you'll do just as good with the up coming CT.
