Well, today was the day of my last scheduled cycle of chemo! I made it all the way to 12 and I can't believe it! I wanted to quit so many times, but thanks to all of the support and prayers from my biological family and my cc board family I made it! I get scanned on Friday and the results and next steps at clinic on Wednesday. The plan is to have 6 weeks of chemo/radiation then a clinical trial vaccine. So hopefully, the scans will look good and we can continue our original plan! But first my family and I will take a station break and visit Orlando! We need some normalcy after this long year. Thank you everyone for just being you!

    Truly Amazing!
    Sheri
    You are such a warrior and a very brave woman. I can't believe you made all 12 treatments; not too many people do that, I didn't. I'm so proud of you that you could take all of that and then tell us all about it! You are so amazing and upbeat. You've been so very nice to me in your reply posts and I find you to be a very sincere person, just full of goodness.

    Orlando sounds good - you doin' Universal Studios or any of the Disney stuff?

    Have a great vacation - you and your family deserve it!

    Always thinking about you - you are a real inspiration to me!

    All the best today and always
    -Craig

    PS If you can PM me the details of your trial I would appreciate it. I was thinking of doing a vaccine trial as well after my treatments end (hopefully) in October.

    I finished my chemo on July 9, 2004! I am now 5 years out of treatment and remain NED. Wishing the same for you; best of luck with the much deserved vacation and the next phase of treatment.
    All the best,
