Ringing in the New Year

I had a doctor's appointment on December 31st, the last and final day of 2008. I'm very ready to get 2008 behind me and see what God has in store for me in the near future! All of my bloodcounts were great and even my platelets were up to 136. This appointment was perfect because I was able to say I was completely finished before 2009.

In my doctor's office, there is a bell called Robyn's bell. Each patient rings it when they are done with treatment. I was able to literally ring in the new year because of this. Thank you so much to the ETMC Cancer Institute for this sweet dedication.

The best doctor in the world- Dr. Lee

Me Ringing the Bell
The story behind the bell- Robyn's Bell.  This joyous bell is dedicated on the occasion of her birthday to Robyn M. Rogers for her personal courage and gracious support with appreciation from the ETMC Cancer Institute and the East Texas Medical Center Foundation.  For our patients- Ring out the bell loud and true as you celebrate completion of your treatment!  September 26, 2007

What a great start to a new year!Even though we were impatient for your treatment to be over with, as always God's timing was perfect in allowing you this new beginning at the perfect time. I loved the bell- ringing idea and your photos.
