One year ago tonight I was facing a big challenge in my life, facing a mastectomy
tomorrow, chemotherapy and radiation in the next few weeks and a lot of unknowns. I was
just rereading all of the emails I received from everyone of you, and I am sitting here
with tears in my eyes and really appreciating all of the outpouring of love and concern
from my family and friends. Everything happened so fast and it is all a blur now. One
year later I can say all of my tests have come back normal. I owe all of you a huge
thank you for all of your prayers, cards, phone calls, emails, and concerns, without all
of you, I would not have made it through this last year. I also owe my team of doctors a
lot of gratitude for working together to come up with the right treatment for me.
To my family who stuck by me by going to chemo treatments with me, all the cancer
research that was done, my son for shaving his head in sympathy for my lost hair, my son
who blessed us with a new grandchild during the middle of my treatments, and most of
all, my wonderful husband who accompanied me to all of my doctor's appointments, made me
get out and walk even on bad days, and sat and talked to me over glasses of red wine, I
love you all.
Even though the road ahead can be stressful, you never know if or when it may come back
or what the next situation might be facing any of us, just remember that prayers do work
and can get you through anything.
Thank you everyone.
