Welcome, fellow Cancer Survivors!

Travel with me as I explore previously unknown territory: My body's reactions to Chemotherapy. I am a 28 year old Mother, Wife, and Daughter. I have started this blog in the hopes of coming closer to my true self. May all who pass through here meet with Peace and Grace.

The story still continues...

Those of you wondering what has happened to me:


I am quite alright, I assure you. I've been taking a lot of time to really look inward, and put Energy In. I think I'm finally ready to share again.

I have just gotten news back from a very Beautiful CT Scan! My body is looking excellent. Truly, the Doctor himself said it looked fantastic. The Chemo must indeed be doing it's job!

I will leave you for now, though. I have just started my second cycle of of Chemo (they will be doing two more such cycles) and I am a bit... well. Stoned. As one would expect.
I am planning to get some darn good sleep tonight, I can tell you that much.

Thanks for all your help so far, and I enjoy the pleasure you have all given me.

I wish you all a good sleep, with or without sedatives.

I would like to say one thing here, as a parting thought. To all my friends, new acquaintances, and companions I have met along my journey: Those of you who have fought cancer or who are in the midst of the fight against cancer, I salute you. I I am amazed by all the courage and the inner strength that you have. Whatever your outcome, whatever your trials, where ever your journey has led you, I know that you can stand back and take a look at what you have accomplished, and know you are strong. It's not putting on a brave face, or being a hero, or showing everyone how much courage you have. It's you, taking your own life into your own hands, molding it into what you need to survive, and pulling on what you know has always been there. I think this is one of the mysteries I have found in my life. I've always been able to tackle this sort of a circumstance, and I will see it through to the end.
I am also so incredibly grateful for literally hundreds of people that support me. You have helped me realize that I am strong, I thank you very much.

And that's my two cents.

Please do pardon the gratuitous drug references. But this sort of thing has never been a part of my life, and now I find it interesting to see how it affects me.
Right now, I'm hoping it affects sleep.

Good night!
