experiencing <a href=\"https:\/\/bigpittstop.com\/chemo-day-1\/\">my first chemo treatment<\/a>.&nbsp; Crazy to think how far I&#8217;ve come in that time.&nbsp; How far my heart has been stretched, how much I&#8217;ve grown, the new friends I&#8217;ve made and the new journey I&#8217;ve embarked upon. <\/p>\n<p>Last Friday I had my 5 year appointment.&nbsp; I must admit it was very uneventful.&nbsp; Not really the moment and fanfare I guess I expected.&nbsp; I&#8217;m not sure if I thought trumpets and birthday horns were going to arrive for a party, but it was just one of those&#8230;well everything looks great and I don&#8217;t have to see you for another year kind of appointments.&nbsp; Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;m glad that&#8217;s the case, I just had waited&#8230;well, 5 years.&nbsp; When you end chemo, you get to ring a bell and the nurses are awesome about celebrating with you.&nbsp; It really reminded me what this experience must be like for Dr. M.&nbsp; He sees a person and tells them the worst news ever and goes next door and tells another person the news they&#8217;ve been waiting 5 years for.&nbsp;&nbsp; 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
