Ring That Bell

Today I had my last day of radiation and was able to ring the infamous bell! Every person who completes their radiation therapy delights in ringing the bell which is heard throughout the halls of the cancer center with cheering! I rang the bell with such exuberance that the actual rope and clanger pulled right off the bell! What fun it was!!!

Another portion of the journey completed but not without battle wounds! I have radiation burns being treated by wound care and my blood count has hovered very low. Fatigue has also been a struggle but now I can look forward to rest and rebuilding for the next few weeks at home. In
February I will be returning to Phoenix for tests and physical therapy to prepare me for reconstruction which will be the last phase of this
journey!!

Thank you all again for the continuous prayers encouragement and support! You are loved very much!

Love and blessings,
Joy
