Brief Notes on the Last Round

DONE.

And there's a lot to say about it. For now:

1. My body feels pretty crappy right now. And yet I am so happy! Kind of like: hit me with your best shot, you crazy poison, because it's the last shot you get.

2. And I feel so thankful. Only the really wealthy women of the planet get this medicine, and I did nothing to be an American, thereby being one of those wealthy women.

I got this medicine before the cancer spread to a different part of my body, and that too, had practically nothing to do with my own merit.

I am a picture of grace: undeserved blessing.

3. And not only do I live, but I do so at the end of a yucky portion of road that was swamped with the love and support of so many, including all of you. God used all of you to make this comparatively easy on me.

4. I'm thinking of Song 10:

He is an everlasting God.
He will not faint, He won't grow weary.

Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord.
