P.S.

Yo Peeps, guess what?! 
I have hair!!
(Sing it from the rooftops.)
Or did you guys just think I was still a baldie? Well I am not sorry to tell you that you are mistaken. As much as I did enjoy being bald and feeling the wind run across my skin, I decided that I needed to take a more fashionable route and grow it back. (Call me vain, but I'm okay with the results of my decision.) I promise that is not a wig, it is growing out of the head of yours truly. 
Come take a tug on it sometime and I'll prove it to you.
My hair came in way darker than it was before and a little more coarse. There are some rogue waves that
sometimes I don't know exactly how to control, but it is starting to get looong and luscious!

Oh what's that? Remember when I was as bald as that apple? Well no more I tell you! Bald be gone!

Two Years

Hear ye, hear ye! Four score and two years ago, I Rachel Ann Fischer completed my very last treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Since then, I have returned to school and have continued to recover. I am so grateful to all those men and women who do research to fight against cancer. I owe them my life. I am grateful to my family and friends who have stuck by my side. Two years down and and looking forward to many many more to come. It's a wonderful life and journey.

"Celebrate good times come on!" (I dare you not to get that stuck in your head.)
Remember this? When I thought I had so much hair that it wasn't noticeable that I was a sicky?
Yeeaah... Not noticeable at all. Those little sprouts have served me well.
The wonderful radiation team.
Blurry photo, but this is exactly two years ago when I finished. I'm holding my mask,
certificate of completion and a bottle of Sparkling Cider.
