Today, I cried some tears of joy but mostly, I smiled. I smiled because today I got my last infusion of chemotherapy. I smiled because I was told that after looking at over 1 million of my cells, ALL of them had been cleared of leukemia. I smiled because my nurse Andrea had a “Nuked the Leuk” shirt made for me. I smiled because there were 15 nurses and doctors waiting behind a curtain as I arrived to surprise me and give me hugs. I smiled because I was with Mike, my mom and my dad- the three people who were with me the night I was diagnosed and have been there for me every step of the way since. I smiled because I walked out of the doors of Dana-Farber and knew that it was my last time there as a patient. I smiled because I got given the greatest gift I could ever receive– a restored, renewed and beautiful life.
I smiled because my baby brother put together this video montage using pictures and videos that I’ve taken over the past two years. I had planned to post a bunch of pictures from today but I’ll do that later– right now this video has made me smile on the outside and on the inside.
Today, after 769 days, I crossed the finish line. Today, I was reminded of every single person that helped me get to this point- every friend, every family member, every nurse and doctor, every person who sent me a card or commented on my blog with well wishes- I thought of everyone. Today, I feel more blessed, more grateful, more humbled then I ever have in my life. Today I feel free… and I feel that because it’s true. I am free.
All my love & light,
Jessy

We went to school together but never talked. I want to tell you (from me being a fellow survivor, of stage 4 High risk Neuroblastoma) congratulations!!!! This made me cry. I know the road was tough, no one will ever know the struggle worries and pain unless they go through it. I am so proud of you, sending hugs your way!
Jamie, thank you for reaching out to me. And you’re right, no one will ever fully understand unless you’ve gone thru it. I hope you are doing well, sending you lots of love!

Hi Katie, thank you so much for the kind words and for everything you do! I couldn’t have gotten thru everything if it weren’t for the love, warmth, support and friendship I felt on 7D. Truly, I am so grateful to all of you. I’ll continue to get those cards to you guys! 🙂 xoxo
