Crazy to think how far I’ve come in that time. How far my heart has been stretched, how much I’ve grown, the new friends I’ve made and the new journey I’ve embarked upon. <\/p>\n<p>Last Friday I had my 5 year appointment. I must admit it was very uneventful. Not really the moment and fanfare I guess I expected. I’m not sure if I thought trumpets and birthday horns were going to arrive for a party, but it was just one of those…well everything looks great and I don’t have to see you for another year kind of appointments. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad that’s the case, I just had waited…well, 5 years. When you end chemo, you get to ring a bell and the nurses are awesome about celebrating with you. It really reminded me what this experience must be like for Dr. M. He sees a person and tells them the worst news ever and goes next door and tells another person the news they’ve been waiting 5 years for. I think we forget what this process is like for our medical team too.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-61cqoLJmCUw\/UWslpY2J3qI\/AAAAAAAAHIg\/K9iftsGw1mU\/s1600\/IMG_5953.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"213\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bigpittstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_5953.jpg?resize=320%2C213&ssl=1\" width=\"320\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 320px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 320\/213;\" \/><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"213\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bigpittstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_5953.jpg?resize=320%2C213&ssl=1\" width=\"320\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\nThankfully, my family came in and we played a couple days.
