It’s been since the night of the season 7 final that I’ve posted. I was in the state of shock that night because I found out that I had cancer in multiple locations earlier in the day. 2 1/2 weeks later I began chemo and went on the worst journey I have ever been on. Ironically this nightmare ended on the day of the season 8 premiere. 15 minutes after my 1st treatment I had my first bad side effect. I was no longer allowed to drive or watch any electronics. I have not watched any TV or used a computer since that day. (I am dictating this to my friend.) I continued to have every kind of terrible side effect possible. I also cratered 4 times which resulted in the infusion of 9 units of blood and many shots to try and boost my blood. The pain was not almost unbearable it was unbearable.For almost the entire 5 months I had 2 days without pain and 5 days of writhing pain each week. I went from chemo 1 day per week with a 3 hour round trip to going to the clinic 3-4 days per week. I wouldn’t wish what I went through on my worst enemy. I won’t be done with all my other treatments until March or April. I do love not having any hair, I didn’t realize how much time I spent on it and my skin is the softest it has ever been. I have lost 27% of my body weight and look like a skeleton. So why am I writing to you now on the last day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month? I have met some wonderful people on this journey. Some have died but most have lived. If there is any way you can send out positive vibes, prayers or whatever you want to call them into the universe I would appreciate it. It really makes a difference. The clinic I go to is the most upbeat positive place I have ever been to and the happiness and love that exudes from almost every one of the patients and medical personnel is awesome. I hope and plan on beating this. The doctors believe all my cancer is gone and I’m having an MRI next week to find out if this is true. I also can’t wait to see S8 although it will probably be well after it’s over.

Enjoyed the last 15 minutes. I’m glad I could watch it. I’ve enjoyed this forum a lot. Goodbye all.

Wow too bad they didn’t focus more on Oliver and Felicity.

Got to admit I’m crying.

Good OTA moment.

For some reason everyone has to have a line to say in the present and the future. They also all have to tans in a line. Some great directing here. Not. Crazy.

Boring. I’m reading a book while watching.

I won’t be watching after this episode.

I thought it ended at least 4 different times

What’s waste of time. Too much Dinah and Rene and Emiko.

Typical ArroW Is Tommy’s beard falling off?

Didn’t SA say on Instagram(?) that he was waiting until Monday so he could process that EBR was leaving?

Knowing nothing about television filming I want to put this forward for thought. There are 22 episodes this year. Why can’t they celebrate the end then come back and do a 23rd episode in secrect? It would have to be filmed indoors so no one outside the cast and crew know what happens and NDAs for everyone. Make it all OTA or Olicity with a little tiny input from Diggle. Put the show on ice, make it look really good and let it be the finale everyone is looking for? Wishful thinking and not going to happen but if I were Greg Berlanti that’s what I would do.

I had to sit down and eat some mint chocolate ice cream. I’m glad she’s leaving on her own terms. She deserves a lot of love and even better writing for whatever she chooses to do.

Did I hear this correctly? when Arrow returns on April 15 it goes back to the 9 pm EST slot? This ridiculous.
