Squashin' "It"

Well its funny how people will "assume" the worst or hear false information about me and my health and think the WORST...so I am here to clear the rumor mill about MY health. Contrary to what one might be saying or thinking...I am ALIVE...and I am doing GOOD!   I haven't been blogging lately...and realized that I need to more often.  Blogging is my way of coping with this whole ordeal...and if I can make a difference in at least one person's life...then I have accomplished something positive. 

Lately I have had a lot of time to sit and think about this last year of my life.  I have had my plate over filled with tragedy and heart-ache...from marriage issues/troubles, withdrawing from school (not by my choice), having to move twice, to being diagnosed with Pan Can...I still try to keep a smile on my face and keep striving forward...

On the other hand it is sad that some people continue to live for the negative things in life...but unless you are willing to change...nothing is going to be any different.  Ask yourself this...do I treat others how I would want to be treated???....if there was any hesitation that possibly you don't treat others right...then make the change. Do something...talking about it is one thing...but actually doing it is another.  Live by the "Golden Rule"...you just might be surprised! :)

So with that being said...stay POSITIVE (Keep smiling...it keeps people wondering)...THINK about others...and do the RIGHT thing!

MY HEALTH:  Today I had chemo #7...I have said this once...I will say it again.  I have already beat the odds as far as my doctors are concerned...they continue to be amazed with my progress and my spirit.  I will go tomorrow for my Neulasta injection (that is the only thing that has been giving me issues lately...severe headache, nausea, and low-grade fever)...but I have coped with it and overcome the horrible 3-5 days that it gives me. 

I am not willing to listen to ANYTHING negative ANYMORE about my diagnosis from anyone...I am going to beat this and I know my doctors have Faith in me that I will! They have the Faith in me...because I have Faith in my Heavenly Father...who has given me the strength each and everyday to keep fighting.  I not only want to just keep fighting...but striving to make a difference and to teach my girls so much more about life-about keeping the Faith, Trusting, and Believing that there are good things in life...not everything has to be a tragedy. There is good sometimes that comes out of bad situations.  This I know...there are times that I have to remind myself of this. 

There...I "squashed" the rumor that  I am "not" doing well. Thanks to those (sarcastic laugh-inserted here) that give me the will to keep fighting even harder than I already am.


Here are some recent pictures of yours truly...not bad for someone kicking cancer's booty...just to show you that I am alive, well, and still HERE!

Thanks for following along with my journey. It hasn't been the smoothest one...there have been many bumps along the way...but its MY story and I appreciate those that have stuck with me and supported me!

Thank you for you continued support, love and prayers...My girls and I truly appreciate it!!!

I think the Alicia Keys-"Girl on Fire" suits me.  Yes I have had a LOT of catastrophe in my life-past and lately...yes it can be a lonely world...but... "She's got her head in the clouds and she's not backing down"...I am on FIRE...ready to conquer what comes my way.

Until next time...Peace, love, and blessings!
