I am a Rock Star!

Well I am according to my Oncologist. Yesterday I went to my Oncologist for a looksie at the Goiter in my neck. After 2 rounds of chemo he wanted to see how my body was reacting. Well after he rubbed and poked my neck he said "You are the Rock Star of Cancer" and "I don't feel anything here anymore". We high fived each other and I must say that I felt proud of what I had accomplished. So the plan has changed I will complete the last 2 rounds of chemo and then I will have another scan. If things are as fabulous as we think they are.... the chemo will stop and I will finish up my journey with 10 rounds of radiation.

As I sit here this morning I think about everything that I have been through especially over the last year. I have come to a conclusion about myself. I am a SURVIVOR. No one and not even Cancer can take me down. I will continue to fight and I will continue to live. My glass is 3/4 full.

Side Note - Suck it, Cancer!

A letter to Bailey.....

Dear Bailey,

I wanted to let you know how important you are to me, that you are the light of my life, and the reason why I am going to kick cancer's A$$. Stop rolling your eyes and listen to me.... 

Also I wanted to write these things to you because sometimes we just get way to caught up in the now. Not how we feel or how our lives have made some drastic turns lately. These are for you....

1) Make a positive out of a negative

2) A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.

3) When life hands you lemons....make lemonade. 

4) You are the most "sparkly" thing in my life

5) I think that you are beautiful, strong, smart, funny, and courageous

6) I have no doubts that you are going to be a force to be reckoned with in life

7) Boys suck...... What I am saying is don't worry so much about boys,dating and etc.... Boys are stupid (not equipped emotionally yet) till at least the age of 30 and even then its not a guarantee. But again you never know who is going to walk into your life and why. 

8) Always do what you are afraid to do

9) Your glass should always be 3/4 full. Anything else is exhausting

10) You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself, any direction you choose.

So much love & sparkles,

Mom
