It’s made me ever more aware of the very frail thread connecting us to this life; the unbelievable courage and dignity of those individuals who fight this disease, and those who have sadly lost their battle; and the importance of medical check-ups and screenings. There are a lot of people I miss.

I had cancer 9 years ago. Aggressive treatment with chemo and radiation saved my life (my doctors and techs were AWESOME) but collateral damage changed my life forever. It’s bitter sweet, but I am grateful to be here.

My friend’s battle with cancer last year taught me love, humility, courage, and how to laugh from way down deep. Joy provided me with daily lessons on what is really important in this life. I am forever grateful for her letting me in to share her personal experience. The care she received along the whole process was amazing and she never left a doctor’s office without thanking them in the most sincere manner. I think that letting caring individuals share the journey is good all around.

I forgot; my final day of treatment was Christmas eve, 2003. Every Christmas I send my oncologists and their staff a note at Christmas to say Thank You, and to let them know that I am still here, healthy and happy. Those folks deal with so much frustration and grief, I like to remind them of their successes too.
