About Me

In a perfect world, I would have unlimited time with my husband (of 25 years!), my family and my friends—especially the ones who live TOO FAR away. I'm just a girl who loves God, my pets, music, football, books, lighthouses, golf outings and days filled with sunshine & NO wind. My dream is to live in my own little beach cottage and to never hear the word cancer again.

Kicking cancer's ass - day 5

I walked about 2 miles this morning.  I'm declaring that a huge victory over chemo!  I haven't been able to do much of anything except lay around on the couch most of the weekend, so I was MORE than ready to get out & get some exercise and fresh air.  But, I will confess, when "they" tell you not to overdo it, they really mean DON'T OVERDO IT!  We walked at a moderately slow pace, but by the time I got back, I felt like I had run a marathon.  Literally.  I was exhausted and out of breath.  Chemo leaves you weak as a kitten, no joke.  Thankfully my buddy R doesn't mind that we might have to walk at a snail's pace.  HA!  At least I'm out there, right?

Today is Labor Day.  I'm thankful to have hubby home with us for another day.  The kids have enjoyed the extra day off from school, and it's nice to have family time where I'm actually feeling good.  Tomorrow may be another story, but the kids are back at school and I don't have to work, so if my couch calls my name, who cares?

Cancer be gone!!!

Kicking cancer's ass - day 4722

  Thirteen years ago today I heard the words "you have cancer".  In some ways it seems like a million years ago. When I think back...
