LAST ROUND OF CHEMO - Hit the Road Jo and Don't You Come Back No More!!

Here comes my last round of Paclitaxel today and my last round EVER of CHEMO. I am ringing that bell today and I am going to sing a bit of an Ode to Chemo as I do it with a few lines from Pat Benetar's HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT!

"Well you're a real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts like the one in me.
That's OK, let's see how you do it.
Put up your dukes let's get down to it.

Hit me with your best shot
Why don't yo hit me with your best shot.
Hit me with your best shot - fire away!!"

Going to see if my lovely Cancer Clinic Team will sing me off with:
 'Hit the Road Jo -  and Don't You Come Back, no more,no more, no more, NO MORE'

I've made a really nice basket up for them with handmade soaps and treats, teas, hand
creams and flowers. Heading off down to a place called Nannup which is in the forest down here in SW West Australia....commune with nature and my family for the weekend.
