Sometimes I get tired of fighting.

I have become a member of a club I never filled out an application to join.

2 surgeries, 4 hospital stays due to various infections, 5 years of Tamoxifen, 6 weeks of radiation, 8 biopsies, a multitude of diagnostic tests, doctors visits and permanent nerve damage to my spine, all in a two year time frame and I am one of the blessed ones in this holocaust called cancer!

I am in “remission.” I learned quickly that remission doesn’t mean you can get back to a “normal” life. Being a cancer patient becomes your and your family’s “new normal” with many of the same emotions that a roller coaster ride brings.

So, yeah, I get tired sometimes of fighting, but like my husband says when you’re tired of fighting for yourself fight for those you love and that love you. With my faith in a Mighty God and my family and friends’ love I can do anything! I will live my life bold and courageous. I will not miss an opportunity to live, love, laugh and dance and yes…I will fight!
