i just wanted to share with you fellow members something interesting that happened to me this weekend...
first off, i have suffered severe chemo reactions in the past...
so, when i found out my cancer had spread to my lungs, after a successful liver resection, i dreaded the upcoming chemo plus the extra ingredients added~~somehow, i'm doing ok with only fatigue...(knock on wood)...first blessing!!!
anyways, i've kinda just been sitting or laying around wondering what will happen next...just doing the everyday stuff, and waiting to see what tomorrow will bring...
this weekend, a wonderful person came to visit...we had family and friends in...with music, drinks, kids having fun and squeeling.....and WOW...i actually found lost strength and peace...i feel almost like a new person...i'm not even that tired!!
i do realize that tomorrow morning, i will be receiving my shot of good "poison"...BUT, i now realize that this whole thing is about LIVING each day to it's fullest...i feel a new energy...and i am really excited...
so, please....ALL OF YOU....do try to think positive thoughts and don't give into depression and bad thoughts...although this is a very serious and scary journey, it is NOT a good thing to allow ourselves to be "food for the devil"...
i hope me sharing this gives you a second thought on being positive...i know i have received more help from your posts than you will ever know...and i appreciate it so much...
i'm just so excited about finding this new energy and fun loving part of my life back...i was water skiing up to diagnosis...haven't been on the skiis since, but do enjoy the hot tub and family...each day is a gift...
bless you all...
