Cancer Independence Day

>
Today is the day I've waited for and it now here..No More Chemo! Before I go off on a deep mind bending long post, I want to give thanks to everyone who has stood by me through all of this. My family has been there with laughter and jokes and tears.

My co-workers who have asked so many time about how I'm doing or have come here to be kept updated. It has meant so much to me to hear that you guys have asked Ken about me. I know most of you wanted to come over and check up but I appreciate you guys understanding that. It won't be long now and you people will be hoping I take vacation cause your tired of my flack.

I also want to thank my ladies from www.breastcancer.org. I wouldn't have gotten this far with my treatment without the kindness and prayer and encouragement they have given me. This group is from all over the world and have shared stories of family, pain, treatment, tips, pictures of loved one, scares and most of all faith in that there will be better times for all of us with cancer.

Then there's my car club, The Road Rodz and all I can say is these guys (and ladies) WOW me. The Ride For The Cure really meant so very much to me and that is something I won't forget. You guys are the BEST. Next year I am planning to run that thing so you guys better be up for it..LOL

And, there's Ken and his family who have been super. Ken has been my rock, driver, cook, nurse, friend and care giver all during this. I truly don't know how I would have ever gotten through this without him to care for me. I know you didn't have to Ken but I know you would do it again in a heart beat.

I remember starting this out and said in one of my post that I didn't mind detours off the road cause you see things you may have not. This statement has come true for me now cause if I didn't have cancer, I wouldn't have met all the great people or have done all the things I have up to this point. During this detour I have met people who have inspired me to live. I would not have been able to cheer up and help those I have talked to if I didn't have cancer. It's hasn't been so bad if you look at it that way.

Yes, I didn't like the things that have happened to me but it's almost over and looking back, it was crap but I understand why God blessed me with this and I wouldn't change a thing! Happy 4th of July everyone or should I say..Happy Cancer Independence Day!!!!
