Out of the frying pan, into the fireMonday, March 31, 2008
Last year was quite a year. I had cancer and a divorce to go with it. Although what I went though was terrible, the outcome was wonderful. I found out what I was made of and I really found out what the people in my life were made of. It turned out that I have the most wonderful friends and family one could ever ask After my cancer treatments last year I was very reluctant to get back into my regular routine. Somehow things like my career, working my ass off to pay bills and get new things and being away from my kids really lost their charm. I spent a few wonderful months getting my strength back and spending time with my kids, my friends and I went snowboarding every chance I got. I swore off men forever and ended up meeting someone great. I’m so grateful for every one of those minutes. Now here I am. I’m digging in my heals and I’m ready to walk back into the fire. I want so badly to come out on the other side. I’ll do what ever it takes. I’ve been so inspired by the kindness, bravery and strength that I’ve found that we all have. I also know that we all have the power inside of us to achieve anything. It is that faith that I’m taking with me. I have a huge task ahead of me. I’m just finishing five weeks of radiation. From what they are telling me this is only treating the immediate threat. The imminent threat is racing through my body right now. The chemo that they recommend very rarely works. I’m undecided on whether I’m going to try it. I’ve been researching alternatives to this treatment and I haven’t found the silver bullet yet, but its out there. Thanks for spending some time with me. Next time I check in I will have some adventures to tell you all about. Wish me luck, I’m heading off to kick some ass! |
