2 Years and Hanging Tough

It looks like a month almost flew by without a post.  I am sorry about that.  The good news is last week it was 2 years from that phone call that changed everything. Those two years were full of ups and downs.  I plan on writing 3years next year. Even with chemo-brain somethings will not be forgot.  Hearing the word Cancer is one of them.  In many ways it has made me a much stronger person.  I have learned so much about myself, my family , my friends and those I have contact with.  I have met wonderful caring doctors ,nurses and technicians.  My faith has grown and the Lord has blessed me so much.  You learn to say I'l  try not I can't.  You learn to treasure each moment.
Today I had a visit with my breast surgeon.  I think she is the best. We did mention that priorities are put in the correct order with cancer.  I even think that pain is relative. What might have "hurt" two years  ago is just a little "pinch" now.  I used to not be able to look at blood draws and now I watch to see if the blood will come.
I know that 2 years ago I wondered if I would live to see my son graduate from high school and in 7 weeks I will be there to cheer.  My hair is gray and I don't care.  At least I have some.  Do I have aches and pains?  Sure!  But I am glad to be here.
Don't give up!  Be thankful for what you have and those around you.   Hopefully you will be able to read my post on the 3 years since that phone call. Don't walk this path alone.  You have fellow survivors to help and the Lord is on our side.


Keep Fighting
