Wow, here it is May 10th already! I only have two more radiation treatments to
go, and then I will be DONE! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I certainly hope it isn't a freight train! It has gone
by so quickly. I’m sure that is because
I haven’t really felt too bad. I clearly
remember that day last August when I was diagnosed. It was a whirlwind. I remember going to see the Oncologist, and
when she told me my treatment plan, I thought “20 weeks of chemo!!! 35 radiation treatments!!!! How will I ever get through all of
that? It is going to be a very long,
awful year!” You know what, it has been
scary, but it has been wonderful at the same time. Wonderful in that I have felt so loved and
cared for by so many people. Wonderful
in that I really knew what was important during this time. Wonderful in that I had the treatments
available to help me beat this! I really
look back at the last 9 months and I think that this “journey” has made me a
better person. At least I sure hope
so. I know I have learned a lot of
lessons. I have learned to slow down and
appreciate each day!! Sometimes we get
so busy with life, we forget to HAVE a life.
I had a wonderful Mother’s Day, but I can’t help feel sad that Nathan isn’t with us. I can honestly say that there isn’t one single day that he doesn’t pop into my head at least a dozen times. Now though, I do smile at the memories, even though they do still hurt.
Most of you have seen that we will be having a new addition to the family in October! Steff and Austin are expecting a baby this fall, and I am so thrilled. What a great way to celebrate LIVING, adding a new grand baby.
I really don’t know exactly where I am headed in this journey we call life. I DO know that I appreciate it more now. I also feel that I am being called, somehow, to show people how important it is to take care of ourselves, and that getting cancer doesn’t have to be a death sentence. I’ve got lots of ideas milling around in my head……..I hope that they don’t collide in there and cause any damage!
Thank you, everyone, for all of the love and support you have shown me!
