🛞 Pit Stop Update: Chemo Graduation Day

Today, we graduated from our chemo sessions.
That’s right — I took in fuel injection #6 and completed the plan.

Simple — in and out.
Had a great nurse today who made the whole process smooth.
We even went through the bell ceremony — and yep, I got my Purple Heart.

Now, just to be clear —
I didn’t actually ring the bell today.

They wanted me to, but I had to explain why, and they bought it.
(Maybe I should’ve just done it... but here’s why I didn’t.)

Originally, my chemo plan was four sessions.
We added two more — and I chose to do it.
If you read my earlier ramble, you already know I fibbed a bit about how easy these sessions were going.

Each round was the injection, a follow-up shot, a week or so deep in the hole, and then another week or so climbing out of it.
Basically, a three-week process.

So in my simple world — I’m not done with chemo until I finish crawling out of the hole after this last injection.
If I can live with that, everyone else should too.

I’ll find myself a bell to ring when the time is right — and you better believe you’ll hear it loud and clear.
Just not yet.
Not until the job’s truly done.

I should start the dive in about 36 hours...
and if the pattern holds, I’ll start clawing my way back out by mid-next week.

It’s going to be great.
Because I’m doing this my way.

Bell will ring soon — stay tuned.
You’ll hear it when it happens.

Till next time,
Cancer Mike
(That’s right — if we’re talking my medical condition, then that dude is still Cancer Mike.)
