1 Year After Chemo

Well today 1 year ago I was disconnected from the 6 months of chemo.  I got the port out a few weeks later

I cannot believe a whole year has gone by.

I did have a small scare in Jan with a poly (pre-c) found and removed, but this is part of the way it will go for me.  Most important it was not cancer.

I have learned that I must keep myself healthy, enjoy each day, do not worry about the small stuff, toxic people, things, foods, situations were removed from my life.

I am very blessed that this was found at stage 3B / signet cell and that I listened to my body.  It was telling me something was terribly wrong.

I look forward to this year. 

I send prayers and good thoughts out to all.

Many a late sleepless night you have all supported me.  I hope I did also help others and will continue to do for you all.  Your are my heros!

I know cancer is a very hard, painful, mind-crushing, life changing, horrible, horrible, horrible thing to go through.

I decided to just enjoy today!!!!

Please all take care of yourselves - allow yourself, for me, to have a really positive thought today.

Love to you allSmile

    You were a HUGE help to me!
    You always told me that I could do and get through with it, you were finishing chemo when I was starting. May you always remain free of cancer forever.
