15.7.14

Part 2
The day I've been waiting for since 7th january. Im cock-a-hoop!
Lyn took me today cos Linda is on holiday. The 6 months was supposed to fit in nicely but Dr Jack cancelled a week and look at the damage he's done!!! Linda missed out on one of Cupcake Janes cupcakes. Don't worry tho Linda...... i will eat it for you! I wouldn't normally, but started steroids again today...... hopefully for the last time.
Lyn was lovely. She did everything i needed. I will give her 10/10. In fact i should be generous and give her 15/10. She deserves it.
We had a giggle, had a chat.
My nurse was Jo today and she was a star as always. The nurses and staff enjoyed the cupcakes, and so did Lyn and I. They were so scrummy.
Jo told me on numerous occasions Dr Jack was 'in da house', but he never came in to see me! What an insult. I think its cos he can't control himself in my presence! I shall have words with him when i do see him. It wasn't a necessity cos i had no questions of any importance to ask him. But last time he said he would be here to watch me ring the bell. Well he missed out on that, and he missed out on a cupcake. Don't worry tho Dr Jack..... i will eat it for you!
Linda gave me a lovely card to open during the Dacarbazine, which has been given a capital letter to show how important its been in the fight of the lymphoma (not flight of the phoenix). I opened it when my little control freak ordered me too, and it was lovely. Lovely words and lovely photos of me and her. She's an angel, I've said it before.
So nearly all done and champing at the bit to escape. It was the quasimodo moment, and i must say I'm starting to look like him!
Ive googled him and found a few things.
'I never realised how ugly i am.... and you are so beautiful'
'I'm as simple as the man in the moon'
'Sanctuary, sanctuary...'
Its all a little close to home!!
I don't feel wonderful about myself at the mo, but that will change, soon.
I do feel simple at the mo, but its the chemo brain! Really, it is!
Sanctuary... i love those products, body scrub and lotion etc!!!!
........and of course the hunchback!
I do have a hunch but its not on my back, its on my tummy!

So heres a picky of Quasi ringing the bell to signify the end of my chemo.
'The bells, the bells!'
I did have a few tears with Jo,  Leanne and Lyn, but i kept a fair bit of control. But Lyn and i left there, and i sobbed all the way down the walk through to the carpark. Tears of joy obviously.
So........thats it. All done. 
I will have more to say tomorrow, I'm sure. Im a little headachy, and hot and bothered, so i will leave it here and hope tomorrow will see me symptom free.
