Today is my "CANCER-versary"

It's one of those dates you never forget as a cancer survivor, the day of your diagnosis. That day is forever locked in my brain. Seeing those tears welled up in my husband's and my mother's eyes as they told me that my tumor was cancer. I sit here thinking and shaking my head of this past year.A year full of fear, scans,Dr. appts., Radiation and chemo treatments, colonoscopies,surgeries, "uncomfortable" exams, blood tests, more Chemo,financial issues, and a PET scan to tell me I was cancer free. Whew! What a year! Some people may look at me and say wow you are so inspiring,and so strong! Yet I want those people to know,it wasn't ALL me. I give all my "triumph" to the glory of God. He gave that strength "inside" of me ,because he is "inside" of me." You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength!" So I'd like to share a slide show of pics through my year's journey:

NEUROPATHY

So , now that Im done with my chemo treatment , you would think I would have nothing to complain about... I do some days, but then again I have another day added to my life which brings me closer to another year added to my life. I have days where my neuropathy( ,a side effect of chemo, where it leaves your nerve endings tingling,numb and sometimes painful) especially in my fingers just gets the best of me. But then I think to myself, would you rather have your health on the downward decline or have this "temporary" finger tingling,foot numbing issue? ummm the latter! It is annoying when I have to back up and RETYPE a word or two, because my finger tips don't push the right key or try to open a zip-lock baggie! At least I can say it's "not a pain in the butt" (LOL, been there, had that!!) just in my fingers and toes! So if you are wondering how Im doing, Im doing well. Added some more pounds to my frame,but really need to exercise! It actually is suggested to cancer survivors to help "prolong" their life , so I better get at it huh! I'll keep ya posted .
