Hi Lee. Ending treatment is such a time of mixed feelings, isn't it? There is the relief and joy that a physically difficult time is finished, all mixed in with a bit of apprehension about stopping "active battle". There is a new appreciation and awareness of living and of loving along with a new understanding of mortality. It took me many years to see any positive upshot from my cancer experience, but eventually I did. And, like Colleen, I don't want to do it again!

Hoping she can soon be rid of the "damn port" and then begin to look forward to a very loooooong, healthy life! My best to both of you.
