Remission

Alright, I know it has been a very long time since I posted.
Just wanted to let everyone know I am alright and thankfully in remission or so my radio-oncologist says.

The above is how I look now. That was taken on my 3rd wedding anniversary.  In 09 I was not sure I would have a 2nd anniversary much less a third.
     Cancer teaches us invaluable lessons that I now live by.  Don't procrastinate you never know when something bad is going to happen.  Live each day as if it is your last and laugh at the things that irritate you because you cannot change them.  Accept that some people will get tired of listening to you and tell you to stop talking about your experience.  Tell people how you feel about them and always end a conversation with the ones you love with "I love you" because we are all in the hands of God.
     I just recently had a good friend that told me to stop talking about it because it is not who I am.  I replied, "The cancer shaped me into who I am now.  So I will tell my story to anyone that will listen because I don't know what they are going through but, it may help them deal with their own problems.  It is like the butterfly effect."
