Then & Now

For anyone out there reading this who's wondering to themselves if there's life after cancer or cancer treatment, have a look:

Then - May 10, 2014

Last day of chemo celebration.

Now - May 15, 2015

On my wedding day with my loves. 

One year after my final chemo treatment I feel like myself again. Better then my old self, maybe. Physically, I feel stronger, less tired and fragile. I feel vibrant.



Emotionally and spiritually, I feel more peace, love and warmth then I've ever felt in my life. Everyday I feel blessed by my family, friends and coworkers. I feel lucky to be alive and healthy and I love the life I've created. I feel this gratitude when I make my bed, go to work, play legos and snuggle on the couch.



So, for those of you wondering if you'll ever get back to 'normal', you can and you will.



Muah.

Crappy Disease, Great Reporting

Check out this awesome series produced by WNYC and NPR called Living With Cancer. Definitely worth a listen.

I also want to add that over the past couple weeks I've been connecting with other women going though this experience, and its been such a blessing to serve them in any way that I can. For me, helping others through this experience eases the pain of having been though it myself.

Lesson here: getting through this life takes a village.

Day 1

I've put it off as long as I could. But the thought of a recurrence has been nagging me. So, I present to you a photo of my breakfast. Or, the side item which will accompany my breakfast...for the next 5 years. 

Prayers that this is uneventful and side effect free. 

HNY 2015!

So long 2014 ~
