Soon after the diagnosis I felt compelled to write down things that were happening to me… partially as a kind of mental therapy… and partly as a way to stay connected with our V100 listeners! It turned out to be a great way to cope with what was happening… a way to pour out my emotions and deal with all that I was experiencing. I also heard from many folks who found my story helpful during their own experience with cancer… and many who discovered they could relate because of life experiences that had nothing to do with cancer.
My treatments are finished now… and I am doing fantastic. I follow up with doctors often (that’s my new “normal”) and am in complete remission. I guess you can say I’m “cancer free,” but medical professionals use the term “remission.”
At any rate, I’m spunky and healthy again!!!
Remember...
the following is my Journal... it is not expert advice. It's simply an honest account of my personal experience... the good, bad, and the ugly. (You may be surprised at how much GOOD there was!)
