Life

A year ago today my journey began. It was a very difficult year, full of fear, what was happening to me? Would I survive? Can I do what I need to do to live? Will my family and friends still love the new me? Will cancer take over my life? I still don't have all the answers but I am here and I am still fighting the battle. The chemo left me with some side effects. I have neuropathy in both feet and I still don't have much hair. The radiation gave me second degree burns but they have healed.
The Femara which I will take for (5) years is rough. I have muscle, joint, and bone ache and pain. I find it hard to use my left hand because it hurts so bad. I have swelling in my left leg but I am still here. Am I sad? Yes, because it has been hard but they learn more each day about cancer and I hope there is a cure soon.

LIFE.... A journey with different pathways that lead to the place we are meant to be.
The road was long, the journey was difficult... but I did it!!!

While all this was going on I was dealing with how to help my Mother who had lung cancer. Could I be strong enough for both of us, how could I help her, what should I do? She lost her battle to cancer in January. I just hope and pray she knew how much I loved her and how much I miss her. Her room is still as she left it, all I gave away were her clothes for a garage sale to raise money for cancer research. Life does go on with all the ups and downs.

To all my friends and family Thank You so much for the support, love, and caring.
My life is better because you are all in it. I love all of you.

God Bless...stay strong...take care...
