Home Sweet Home

After a great travel day, I'm home. Los Angeles, I've missed you so much. Family and friends, I've missed you even more! It feels so good to be home.

It's been an emotional homecoming for me. I teared up multiple times on the flight home, shedding little tears of joy. The surgery chapter of this cancer-killing saga is closed, and so is the East Coast-based part of my treatment and recovery. I achieved everything I set out to do during my journey East, and my reward -- returning home, cancer-free -- is sweeter than I could ever have imagined.

The next chapter of my cancer-killing saga, which includes fully bouncing back from surgery and stomping on cancer's face with three more months of chemo, will take place in the City of Angels. And I couldn't be happier about that.

I'm very excited about the Welcome Home parties and get togethers, which will start almost immediately and extend into the weeks and month to come. I can't wait for those moments of pure joy when I'm reunited with all of my loved ones.

But first, I'm going to indulge in some deep, delicious sleep.
