Continued From Yesterday
| To everyone who commented on my last entry, thank you so much. Your kind and positive comments are so uplifting and encouraging. And also know, through all the treatments, your prayers have been answered, and Ive weathered the storm of treatment better than most. With every visit and every lab my care team and infusion team have constantly told me that I'm not only doing great, but that I'm not getting nearly as sick as most others have. That, my friends, is the power of your prayers! From the movie, Kelly's Heroes, I quote Oddball, "Crazy... I mean like, so many positive waves... maybe we can't lose, you're on!" I have to admit that after hearing the news, I was pretty depressed both Thursday after hearing it and yesterday. I'm not ashamed to say that throughout the day yesterday, the tears would start flowing. Today I'm doing better; my positiveness has returned. According to my oncologist, I do have a thirty percent chance of making the next five years without the cancer returning; if the cancer has not returned in five years, it's highly unlikely it will ever return. For the last six months, it's been one day at a time. This is now a way of life for me. I'm not saying anything to my children or stepchildren until well after the holidays; I don't want to tarnish their joy and add any sad memories. Some time after, I will inform them of my odds; it's only fair that they know. But I will also share with them my positive attitude and my will to beat this thing. For now, it's one day at a time; that's what my Lord grants me. I also know that only He can call me home, and if it's not my time, He will heal me until it is my time. Again, thank you all for everything. You are wonderful! |

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?"
"Writing is my passion."
