in Uterine/Endometrial Cancer #1

 

 

Today is March 25, 2014!!!! I’m alive and wonderfully well, living in California, six years after my diagnosis with UPSC. Don't be afraid to ask the hard questions. Question everything. Look things up on the web. Google is the best friend I had in my fight. There is a change in the wind on how doctors are looking at treating cancer. Your nagging the bejezus out of them could push them to question things more, and maybe start tweaking things.

 

YOU BE in charge of your fight. Your doctor's life is not in peril.

 

 

 

Remember to say this daily

 

 

 

This is the fight of my life.

 

I will fight every day.

 

I will not forget about the thief that lies within me waiting to take my life.

 

He is not my friend.

 

I will take charge.

 

It is my fight.

 

Two of the women who started this journey with me have become my friends. There are others who are also alive and well and getting on with things.

 

Hope is  your friend along with tenacity of spirit. Your brain knows when you feel hopeless. Let it feel your joy and determination.

 

 

 

As always, love, hope, strength, good health and long life are my wishes for all of us,

 

Let cancer be but a blip on your life line. See it becoming smaller and smaller as you get stronger and the days go on for you and with you.

    Hello, Kathy Darlin'

    Actually, I just rented an artist studio and plan on doing the art circut this summer. I went to pick up a painting of mine that my son had been holding for me and was suddenly struck by how inspired and joyful it made me feel. Thought I might be able to do something else uplifting.

    So I'm off to the paints again.

    So wonderful that you are well. You look just beautiful!!

     

    Your friend,
