EOT

I had my first end-of-treatment nightmare last night.

Yeah end-of-treatment.  EOT for short.

Just 2 weeks (and 2 days) til EOT.  Today an echocardiogram.  Tomorrow a lumbar puncture.  Some IV chemo.  14 nights of 10:00pm oral chemo.  A week of steroids.  2 final doses of methotrexate.  It's just one final course.  Seems like so much as I write it out but feels like so little.  Two (plus) years felt so long and yet went by so fast. 

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm not ready for it to end.  Light at the end of the tunnel?  I can see it now.  But what if it doesn't stay lit?

I asked the doctors for more chemo.

They said no.

Ari has just two more weeks. 

And then we'll find out if it all worked.

(I should start taking Ari's Ativan.)
