It’s hard for me to put into words how I feel about beating cancer. Honestly, I’m still trying to process the fact that I even HAD it! The last several years had been rough and I was so optimistic that 2022 would be my year of moving forward. And then, the terrifying words came that no one wants to hear... “You have cancer.” But I already knew it. On the day I was getting ready to go get an ultrasound, I heard a clear voice say, “You do have cancer; but you’re going to be ok.” And an hour later, as I was laying in a dark room getting the ultrasound, the same voice with the same words came again. And so it began. And it just kept moving at a rate that was much too fast for me to process! Insurance nightmares, so many procedures, a port placed in my chest to deliver lifesaving, yet cell-destroying chemotherapy, side effects, cold caps freezing my head for 12 hours each treatment, anxiety, fears and always pushing back the terrible thought that this was a disease that could take my life! Cancer really does take so much, but I’ve found that it also gives. Words fail when I try to share how I feel about the unconditional love and unwavering support of my sweet kids, my dear family, my faithful friends and my kindhearted boyfriend. I never went into that cancer unit without a team! The gratitude and love I have for my people is boundless! Its overwhelming for me to even think about! (The rest of my thoughts are in the comments)
