After an amazing night we got back to the hospital. I sat on the bed and through my shoes off. I was tired and ready for bed. Nobody was in my hospital room or answering their phones, so it was just me and Chris. We decided to just lay down and talk. He told me how things were going at school, and that everyone misses me. I really missed my best friend Bailey. She hasn't been able to visit me often, but when she did she made it a great time. I hoped she'd come soon. As soon as that conversation was over, the doctor walked in with my parents. He said he had some good news. I would finally be done with chemotherapy, and my hair would probably start growing back soon. I started crying for the 100th time that night. I decide to make a video about this and have Chris post it on the website.

" Hey guys it Chloe, I have some really good news. So as you know I have two types of cancer but, what's the good thing? I'm stopping chemo, and get to continue my life as a regular person. My cancer is almost gone, so I don't need the therapy anymore. I will be going home shortly, and will be spending Christmas at home. Thanks guys for all the love and support, I love you all so much."

I felt a tear roll down my cheek, and I wiped it.

" Sorry for being emotional, I'm just really happy that I can continue this journey in my life without cancer. And to anyone battling cancer right now, I know what you're going through, and I'm always here to help. You can always email me or leave comments on my photos or tweets. Love you all."

And I ended the video. As soon as I uploaded it, it started getting views. I lied down on my bed so I could go to bed, Chris was already asleep on the couch. When I woke up it was still dark in the room, so I figured it was early. I got up and went to the bathroom. I heard footsteps and figured it was my dad, it was.

I walked out to see the door to the room shutting, my dad must have left. I moved over to my bed and grabbed my laptop. I looked at the video I uploaded last night. I had over 15,000 views! Is this even life? I looked through my pictures on my phone and posted a picture of Chris and I.

"This guy has been with me through everything, thanks for the support everyone!" Is what I captioned it. And then I posted it on Instagram and Twitter. I was so happy to read allow the comments that were almost instantly written. Most comments were congratulating me or just a wonderful comment, but there's always those dumb haters. One comment stood out to me a lot. It was from @TheEllenShow.

@TheEllenShow " hey sweetie, so inspired by you're video and website! Check you're dm :)"

I checked my Direct Messages right away. 872 pending requests! It was going to take me a while to find Ellen's. I can't believe 'The Ellen', just dm'd me! Once I finally found her dm I smiled hugely. She was asking for my phone number and address, so I could be on her show. I replied with my address and number and waited for a call. I waited and waited and waited.

"It'll come soon honey, just wait," my dad said, trying to convince me.

Sure enough. About two hours later I got a call from Ellen. I was so excited and nervous, I didn't know what to say. She gave me the address to her showing, and then texted me plane tickets for my family and I. The doctors said I was free to go to California! Adios Michigan, Hola west coast! I was so hyped!
