Treatment is OVER

Good Morning!  I am glad to say that my life has gotten back to being busy... and fairly normal.  I finished radiation last Friday and it was a wonderful feeling to walk out of those doors knowing that I didn't need to come back.  No more afternoon drives to Dallas!  I won't be going back until March 5 for a visit with my oncologist.

I am feeling great.  My hair is growing back, slowly but surely.  I'm not quite to the point of going hat-less but I'm getting closer every day.  I don't know if that's because I actually have an adequate amount of hair or I'm just really tired of my hats.  I went back to the gym for a spin class on Saturday and that felt great... although it was much harder than the last time I did it in October.  That was another step in getting back into my old routine.

I'm up this morning getting ready for a Tuesday with second graders, getting ready to pack lunches & wake Zach up... and happy to be doing it.  Life is good.

I was happy to see your post today and hear the news that you have completed your treatment. You and your family are in my prayers. Bless you all.
I know your second graders were thrilled to see you. I taught second for twelve years and that is a precious age. Your positive sprit shines through your messages. Thank you for your example.
With love, Kate Asbill - from Santa Fe, NM

Oops, I do know how to spell spirit. I bet it's a second grade spelling word! Kate

YOU DID IT!!!What a journey you and your family have been on. You are and will continue to be an inspiration to so many. Is the hair coming in curly or a different color? A picture would be good soon! It feels so good to get back to some kind of normal. You will still be in our prayers. Love, Team Tinley
