i am done with cancer

I had a PET scan today and I have the preliminary result of the scan. The scan told us I have no cancer in my body. My uncle who lives in Missouri came down to DC to do some work so he took a half day off and came to visit us last Wednesday. I will have a scan every three months for a year, then once every six months for the next year, then once a year after that. The port will come out in mid-January.

I went to a wedding this weekend in Alabama. We left on Thursday night. We drove to Bristol, Virginia and stayed the night. The next day we started at 9 in the morning and got to Alabama at 2:45. We listened to Cheaper By The Dozen in the car.A friend of ours from church was getting married. The wedding reception was in a restored barn.

I am selling Christmas trees with my Boy Scout troop on Sunday from 12 to 3:00 at Better Living in Charlottesville.

This is my last PET scan

 I think having cancer made me stronger going through a hard thing in life. I had a lot of support behind me through cancer and I can not do it my self and I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart. If you have cancer go through it with a positive attitude and a big smile on your face to make it through.

Last day of treatment!

Today was my last day of chemo! It went pretty well, although I'm feeling a bit sick now from the medicine. I'm excited to get back to school pretty soon, but I will miss on the 15th for my last PET scan. I'm especially looking forward to go back to art, because it's my favorite class.

Here I'm giving myself a Heparin flush, the last thing we did today!

This is me with my nurse, Emily! She was with me for chemo, and I really like her.

This is one of my doctors, Dr. Belyea. I met him during the last cycle of chemo. He's really funny! He does a lot of cancer research with mice and he dressed like a mouse for Halloween.

I had a great Thanksgiving! It was really fun because we had three dinners on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. The Stelows came over and ate with us which was great. I'm thankful for my family and all the visitors that came to see me since I started chemo!

My teachers, Ms. Nicholson and Ms. P came to see me last week

Here's me, my brother and sister at UVA Hospital

This is my family with Aunt Jean and Grandma Davis last week in Chapel Hill.

Keep checking for more updates as we get closer to the finish line! I'll put up more pictures when I feel a bit better.
