Kobro's Cancer Crew #17: Ringing the bell
Every treatment day for the past 6 months, we'd hear another patient ring the bell. Friday was my turn.
Here's the 20-second video, marking the completion of chemo. You can hear all the nurses who supported me throughout treatment in the background.
I knew it was a special day from the start. To kick it off, my brother Sam sent in a bunch of lox bagels and whitefish salad from Frankel's.
Before chemo, I met with Doctor Handsome. Not loving how he shaved the beard, but still handsome.
I'll be going in for a PET scan in a few weeks to see where the cancer's at -- hoping we're all in the clear!
During treatment, Dad pulled the nurse outside to tell her some jokes that were too ~inappropriate~ for us to hear.
Here's another 15-second clip capturing some of the final moments of chemo.
When everything wrapped up, I took a final selfie.
After a 2 hour nap, we went out for a tasty duck dinner to celebrate at Rule of Thirds in Brooklyn.
I kept this update fairly short because I've been feeling especially tired this weekend, but I'll be sharing more info over the coming weeks on what recovery + checkins will look like!
Love,
David
