The Silent Hell of Cancer After Treatment
Everyone thinks that once you finish chemo, surgery and radiation it’s done. You go right back to normal and aren’t you the survivor for getting through all that. Yay you!. Well, I sometimes think during treatment is the easy part. They tell you where to go, what you are doing and why. You spend a…

Reality has set in
I’ve been kind of depressed the last few weeks. I don’t know what triggered it. Surgery, the weather, the holidays. I’m sure all the above. When I get like this I either throw myself into work or stay in bed and binge watch TV. I’m not going to lie, I’ve been doing both. Now, I…

1 Year Later
Just completed my first year out of treatment. The entire thing is still very surreal. I go back and forth between normalcy and my world being upside down. When I first stopped treatment I had this idea that everything is over and that’s it. I can just go back to the way things were. But…

Getting sucked back in….
Last week I had to go in for my Lupron shot. Which is always a pleasant experience. Not down with having to sit in the infusion room while you wait. It’s like they put you there on purpose so you get to relive every painstaking moment you went through in Chemo. At first I don’t…

It Never Ends

Several other birthdays and losses in the month of October. It’s also that Breast Cancer Awareness month that I have come to have a really hard time with.…

Back on Track!
Of course, now that I’ve committed myself to getting my self together and back on track, this means I’ll probably be posting a lot more. Yay! More blog activity! I’m starting all this with baby steps. And again, I’m trying to learn from the past 20 months! I have always had an issue of having…

The next 3 months
So I’m looking at the calendar and I’ve got 92 days until my 48th birthday. (GEEZE!) Gosh, that seems old! Well, beats the alternative! My goal was to be in the best shape I could be in when I hit 50. Okay. We’ve got 2 years. I think that’s realistic. As long as my overall…

In a mental limbo
It’s been quite some time since I’ve contributed anything here. Been a bit busy with the business and trying to figure out what to do next! Trying to get a business up and running is a lot of work. In addition to the event planning (which is really just wedding planning at this point) I’ve…

The Zen of Hiking
Two weekends ago we went on our first major hike since we have been here. And as usual, every time I hike I get very introspective. My mind starts to think about each step and how the hike I’m on parallels my life. The last hike I did this on was to Finch Lake in…
