Anniversary

My mom reminded me lastnight that it is my one year anniversary from finishing chemotherapy. I was dx One year, six months and two days ago.

It's amazing to look back over the year and see how much I have progressed and changed.

I have many of you wonderful souls to thank for much of the progress as I was an absolute mess after I finished treatment and didn't know how I was going to go on but just knowing that I had to figure out a way.

I remember I was so scared that I cried myself to sleep every night and just looking at my beautiful baby made me cry. My husband didn't know what to do and didn't understand what I was going through so he couldn't be there for me. I was in such a terrible depression and so tired and only making things worse by what I was eating. Thank God for all of you nutrition freaks (I mean that in the best possible way). Without your extreme views I don't know if I would have made the changes I did that resulted in my feeling better and gaining more energy.

I can also say now that I can run (maybe not fast yet), but actually run a mile+ without dying of exhaustion. Can't tell you when I could do this last and running used to be so important to me before college.

The yucky side is that I was due for my dreaded tests in March and now have to get my bootie in gear and get them scheduled.

Thank you all for being here. You are very great.

Oh yeah, and Kanga I started working on my web page just for you
