Today was Beth's last treatment. I went with her today along with the kids. Before we went back for her treatment a woman walked into the waiting room and announced "I am done!" she got to ring the bell!!! The hospital has a gold bell in the waiting room and on the last day of treatment when you walk out, you ring the bell. Everyone in the room clapped for her. It was cool to see.
So when they came to get Beth we were all able to go back with her. We got to see the room where they actually administer the radiation, we saw the body mold that Beth lays in daily to receive treatments. It was all pretty interesting. From there me and the kids stepped out during the actual treatment and we were able to watch via a monitor while she was receiving treatment. It was pretty interesting...I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't what I envisioned. When she was done, they pressed the intercom button and Avery announced to her "you are done." They asked Beth if she wanted the body mold, she told them she would pass, they could burn it!!!! So then it was our turn...we walked through the waiting room, Beth got to ring the bell. I don't know about her, but I did get a little emotional. I didn't cry, but I was close. So excited to see her get to this point. When we were in the car driving back home Avery asked Beth "is that the last time you ever have to do that for the rest of your life?" I almost cried then too...I just assumed the kids didn't really get it, but they understand far more than they are given credit for. Of course Beth's response was, "I hope so."
As I was driving to work I was replaying the entire morning. I suddenly felt a great peace over me. With EVERYTHING in me I believe Beth is going to be able to say "I am a cancer survivor!" I believe in MIRACLES and I believe a miracle is happening before our eyes.
This will be my last post for a while. I won't be posting daily, unless something unusual happens, but I will for sure post something after her appointment on April 20th. We should have a surgery date then. Again, I thank each and everyone of you for your continued prayers. I can't imagine having gone through all of this without prayer. Thank you!
What a God he is! How perfect in every way! All his promises prove true. Psalm 18:30 (TLB)
