Today I feel great. It's been over two years since I made my first entry and at that time I really didn't expect to survive but I was writing like I was tough and could handle anything.

My attitude! One of my doctors told me I would be lucky to live 3 years. One of my friends told me I didn't have an expiration date on the bottom of my foot so I should just get over it! So I did. Now instead of waking up each morning feeling sorry for myself I wake up wondering what I can accomplish each day... and I love it.

Hahahaha, having everyone tell me after my chemo treatments that I look so good!

I'm not working right now because of other illnesses. Hopefully these will get reconciled in the next few months so I can pick up another job with my company.

My advice is to believe in yourself, your family and your doctors.
I believed that I would survive, and that's the only thing I would prepare myself for.
I believed that my husband and my children would believe in the best about me.
I believed in my doctors and after each appointment I gave them hugs and told them I believed in them. After each hug they would give me one back with a beautiful smile and let me know they believe in me too.

Well... I was told that my hair would most likely fall out so I had it cut super short and bought several wigs. It was my control thing.
My hair did get thin, but I never lost all of it. I guess my control thing beat me after all.
But I do have some really nice wigs.

Don't panic. It's really easy to do but you'll feel better if you don't.
