Ring-A-Ding
| I went in today for my immunotherapy infusion and was surprised by how many of the medical staff came and congratulated me on my last CT Scan and my prognosis of being cancer free. They wanted to know if they could join me after my session for the bell ringing. I usually don't care to be around a lot of people, but all these people played a big part in getting me through all the infusions and problems associated with them; they did not treat me like a patient, but like a good friend. So, after my hour infusion (a big improvement over the six-hour chemo infusions) we went out to ring the bell. They read a short poem, and then I gave the bell three good tugs, ringing out that for now, I'm free of cancer and done with chemo. They clapped and shook my hand, then we did a few pictures. For six months, I've endured hell on earth waiting and praying to make it to this day. After the last chemo treatment, I seriously thought I wasn't going to make it a few times; there were days I hurt so much that I questioned my decision to finish the chemo. I really had reached the end, but everyone's comments and prayers kept me positive and determined not to give up. I cannot thank all of you enough. If ever you wonder if your prayers are heard, I can honestly say, "Yes, they are."   |

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?"
"Writing is my passion."
