    End of Chemo - yahoo!

    Benson is such a cutie - my daughter will be so jealous! She’s been asking for a puppy for a long time.

    Great photos!

    :wub: Congrats on the end of chemo, Heather. Benson is a doll. Is he a schnauzer? And what about the little black baby? He’s cute too. Guess what, I have a dress just like the one you’re wearing. I haven’t worn mine yet, I just got it. Have a great 4th of July, you, your family, and your doggies. –Susan C. :heart:

    Congratulations Heather! It’s totally marvelous that you have finished chemo. And thank you…I had a call-back mammogram and ultrasound today and from reading of your journey through cancer and chemo, I knew that I could find the strength to get through whatever might lie ahead. Praise God, it was determined to be benign cysts.

    Oh. My. How adorable is Benson! You post on your other puppy is one reason I started looking a schnauzers when I wanted a puppy. And I ended up getting a minature schnauzer in October of last year! I love her… they are such good dogs.

    Hope Benson brings you JOY!

    You look blessed! All of you look blessed! Benson is adorable. We love dogs around here. What kind is he? Enjoy him and the kids this summer and try to forget about any sickness! This is the advice our Urologist gave my DH when his PSA came back 0.00. I think it is excellent advice! ((((hugs))))

    Heather - You don’t know me, but know Laura and Kate in St. Louis. I feel as if I know you a bit just through updates I learn through them. However, I had NO idea the depth of what you’ve been/are going through. I didn’t realize in addition to your cancer that your daughter Emma had such a journey. I cried reading it. I’d love to send your story to every person who ever complained about some little annoyance or problem. What you’ve been through and your positive attitude truly inspires me. I now know why your friends think you so special. I will pray for you and your family. Now including your adorable new puppy, Benson! God is great and will continue watching over all of you. God bless!! Prayers from St. Louis - Stacy J.
