In Celebration...

**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**
Surrounded here by family and friends
One journey has ended, another begins
I ring this bell for treatments ended
I ring the bell for wounds now mended
For those who listen, my story, I tell
I celebrate life by ringing this bell
**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**

Larry had his last radiation treatment today and rang the bell to celebrate.  One trip next week to check that his blood counts are normal, then hopefully a few weeks off before we go back.  As Larry's appetite returns he'll be weaning off the feeding tube.  He is still fighting fatigue, and will be for quite a while.  Dr. Videtich (radiation oncologist) compared what Larry's been through to being hit by a truck three times!  We're happy to be back home.
