Rachels "All Done"

Rachel's doctor decided midway through treatment that he had a good feeling that Rachel was done with radiation. Just a strong, good feeling. Her MRI looks the same but he thinks that it is possible her tumor cells are now scar tissue. Another theory is that they are slow to grow, and thus slow to shrink. I think he was about to do more damage and he wanted to be sure it was absolutely necessary. They will re-evaluate in December. You can read more about it on Amy's blog that I have linked. Anyway, they found out two days before when her last day would be. So with much rearranging of the schedule, I was able to be there! It was really cool to see the proton center and what Rachel was doing everyday... Unbelievable technology! And thank God for it!
This was where she was supposed to ring the bell that she was all done but she was a little fussy coming out of anesthesia so her mom rang it for her.
poor Emily is considered a germy little thing and had to wait outside.


Happy Last Day (hopefully) To You!
