Copied from my Tx thread, last post there as of now

Postby Nik Colon » Thu Sep 24, 2015 3:34 am

I just have to post this because I just realized something very odd or coincidental. I will be getting disconnected in the morning which is actually today and today also marks the 3 year anniversary of my brother passing away (suicide). Normally my chemo was always done on Wednesday but it was done on Tuesday this last time so my disconnect is a day early which happens to fall on that 3 year anniversary and it's my final chemo and disconnect so I'm hoping that's a good sign :)
