I made it!

Laying in bed at 8am with Riley on this great day off on this beautiful Labor Day, shockingly my husband has made me breakfast in bed, and I am just soaking up the extra rest.  Besides the crazy tiredness I am feeling pretty good. The "yucky" is gone. No more nausea or queasy, the pain and aches are gone, the numbness and tingling is gone, the film in my mouth is Almost gone and I can taste my food. Things are good. I made it!  This was a battle that I never expected to have to fight and really took me off guard, but I am grateful that I had the tools to fight it.  I have really good friends and family,  I have good bosses and coworkers and because of them I have good insurance and I have good doctors.  I feel so awful for anyone going through this that is not lucky enough to have all of that support to get through this.  This was not easy and I could Not have done it without all of  the awesome support that I have.   I know that this battle is probably not really over.  I still have medications and screenings to deal with and I think that once you have CANCER there is always going to be that fear and worry and risk of a recurrence  and you will probably never really be completely at ease, but I am going to  do my best to be hopeful and positive and enjoy this wonderful life.   Looking forward to all the little things. Can't wait til my immune system is back to normal so I can get a pedicure and eat sushi. Looking forward to growing hair!  To working out. To just living my normal life.  And thank you to all of the people in my life for making it such a wonderful life to live.
