Almost to year 6, Post!

It has almost been 6 years post treatment for me.  Time flies.....  Since my diagnosis in May 2012 so much has happened.  I've overcome a lot of fears, moved from UT to WA, have 2 grandkids that I love and adore, sold our home in WA and moved to a new one last year with cherry trees, and most importantly, I've been super healthy and feeling strong. 

There are little reminders along the way of battling cancer.  But overall, I just sneak those thoughts out of my head.  It so weird though the niggling thoughts and feelings I have about going through this critical event in my life;  Most of these, I just keep inside my head and whisk them away.  One of those thought I have is each year, heading up Doomsday Hill at Bloomsday in Spokane, I just love seeing the vulture.  It reminds me of the old me, bc (before cancer) and the new me ac (after cancer), kicking that thing in the ass!! 

Going through cancer, and treatment, was an event that changed me, and changed my thoughts about living, people, jobs, family, friendships, diet, exercise, time, and generally evaluating what is important in life. 

Seeing my divot now, and my "tattoos" are a daily reminder of getting to live out so many more wonderful years and the hope of the future.  Never take a single day for granted.  Soak up the sun and keep on fighting!!!
