Chemo brain must really be setting in--------it took me 9 tries to log in because I forgot my username and password hahaha!
All is still well here. I have my LAST chemo this Friday!! (Well, last one until the SCT). After 7 1/2 months, it is finally here! I am so glad it went so well. A year ago, I had no idea what "chemotherapy" even was. I have been blessed in that no one close to me had ever went through it. I am just so happy I made it through it (and with a smile on my face most days!). I have decided to celebrate the ending of chemo at Relay for Life this Friday. I had been going back and forth as to if I was emotionally ready for it or not. I didn't think I could be much inspiration to anyone yet. Maybe in 10 years I felt, then I will have a story to tell. But, as I have shared with all of you, my story began on that awful day in September when I came out of surgery and heard the words "It's cancer". I have pondered what it means to "survive" cancer. Then it hit me, I have already SURVIVED cancer in the fact that it will not steal from me my happiness and my hope. I will never live as if I "HAVE" cancer. It doesn't HAVE me.
I AM A SURVIVOR.

The Relay for Life is a great idea. You have been an inspiration to me from the first day.

Have a great time this weekend.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
