It's been 6 months since my last chemo treatment. Wow!!! I can't believe it's gone that fast.
I finally feel like my old self again. I have my energy level back. Since I changed my shift to a later one I can work out in the morning on my treadmill ,before going to work, for an hour at a time.I love it!! I feel energized for the day. My curly hair has not returned and I don't know if it will. I really miss it but oh well. I'm not having many intestinal issues. Thank goodness for Metamucil!
I've almost forgotten many of the symptoms I battled during chemo. One day while rushing through Costco I suddenly remembered that it wasn't that long ago when I didn't think I could make it through that store because I was so weak. I am so grateful for my health and I pray I will be able to keep it. We have a friend that just found out a week ago that he has lung cancer. I feel for him as he faces this difficult challenge. I'm glad that we can be there for him and his wife. I have a lot to be thankful for this holiday season. 2008 has been full of challenges and incredible blessings!! I'm will be eternally grateful that I didn't have to face this alone but I have been blessed with a wonderful husband who walked beside me through this journey through chemo.

When I saw you today at church, I was going to tell you I had found your blog & I sat with tears streaming down my face as I read & "walked" your journey with you. I LOVE seeing you each week (well, when I'm not inactive that is LOL) & seeing you come back to your "old" self. You have been such a source of strength & inspiration to many of us.
