It wasn't as traumatizing as I thought, it was more of a relief.

    One more chemo session to go!

    GO SNAP! You look amazingly good with no hair, by the way. <3, girl.

    You're on a tough road- you sound spunky though, and I'm sure that is helping you cope. Sending a hug- if you have just one more treatment, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
