Yesterday marked 2 years since my last chemo treatment! Wow! Most people may not know that those with a cancer diagnosis count days and milestones that usually revolve around the cancer journey. Not forgetting what we have survived or what God is doing in our lives. Each day we have past our last treatment date means a higher chance of survival or living longer than we hoped. There are days that
I'm lucky enough to forget and then there are days that I can't get it out of my mind. For the most part I have recovered from the chemo. My hair has grown back in and I don't feel as tired anymore but underneath, chemo has changed me. My body and mind do not feel the same as before chemo. It's hard to explain but chemo changes you. Adjusting to finding a way to live with what I am now is challenge and some days are harder than others. Doctor appointmens, blood tests and scans are still part of my life and will be until I die. I guess I feel like sharing this so that those that read will understand a little better. I may look like I'm healed and back to normal, but somehow I'm not. It's okay though, as long as you are patient with me and don't mind that this journey has changed me. If you have friends that are survivors, do something kind for them. Let them know that you remember and know they are survivors or are still fighting. Sometimes not acknowledging our journey at all hurts. Encourage those in your life no matter what they may be going through!
