That makes me blush a little and I duck my chin. A soft smile curves my lips as I think of the first few days of marriage, screwing one another until we could barely walk. Chemo put a hold on that and now...just thinking about being able to be with him again makes me almost giddy.

"Yeah, that kinda sucked," I say, lifting my eyes to look at him. He's thinner, not by much, but I can see how hard treatment has been on him. From here on out it'll only get better, though. From now on things will be better than I ever could have hoped for...providing this shit from this Kavinsky guy proves to be effective.

"So here's to being done with chemo, too," I agree, then drink down my champagne.
