On the horizon.

Hair's almost completely gone.
Except around my temples.
Just weird.

Tomorrow's my last chemo treatment. The last time sitting in that green pleather recliner while vitality drains away. Last of the sleepless nights. Last of the pain-inducing Neulasta shots. Last of the hiccups and heartburn and tortured taste buds. 

It won't be fun, but I can do it. One more, Tara. Just one more.

Well, I know it's weird to say that I'm excited for you knowing that you'll be in quite a bit of pain for the next week - but I am! Last one! I'm so glad this is almost over for you. I think about and pray for you every single day. Love you bunches and miss you like crazy!

Tara,
It's my second week back at GR. One of the first things I did was look for you because you were always an especially friendly face. :) I am so sorry to hear about your struggle. I pray that you can always feel the support and love of your family and friends - all of us who are thinking about you - as you near the END of your treatments!
All the best,
Tiffany
