Update on Test Results
Since you all were so kind to board the pink bus with me last Monday, I thought I would let you all know the results of the tests.

I finished radiation treatments finally!
I am done! Officially done! I got my diploma, rang the bell and the techs made a cake for me! It was so sweet of them to do that for me.

It is difficult for me to ask -- I really did try to pull up my big girl panties - but, I need some support. I have an 11 a.m. Oncologist check up - blood work, markers etc tomorrow... Don't know why, but this appointment and check up is really bothering me, and weighing on my mind. Robert - Can you drive ... ?? Vicki Sam
