It was a very emotional farewell to the RNs, how do you thank them properly for being calm, reassuring and friendly, every time they treat you, without fail? There were tears on my part, I had said I was going to dance my way out however this session there were a few patients who looked like they were having a tough time and I didn't think it was cancer etiquette to be celebrating in front of them. I do intend to do a bit of salsa sway or elegant pirouette after my last specialist appointment though, and I don't care who does see that.
I have returned from my "Adele" celebration, extra special as my friends completely spoiled me and I had a night in a gorgeous hotel in the Waitakares with another surprise being 2 of my friends swapping their Thursday night tickets for Saturday so they could celebrate with me. Adele was worth the extra hour in traffic it took to get to Auckland and the queues to get in, and the being tired today. Although that could partly be the celebrating with champagne and port back at the hotel afterwards
Not sure what I've done to deserve the awesome support of my friends and family but you guys have got me thru this, so stand up and take a bow. I must confess that I'm going to miss pulling the cancer card on you all, however I am ecstatic to be able to say "Hello ....from the other side" [see what I did there?] and I have decided that I am cured.
The next episode will update you all on what I'm planning to do next, I bet you can't wait, get the G&Ts ready...
