Dear Cancer,
You picked the wrong bitch and I’m coming for you!
Today is the 1st day of the rest of my life and the 1st day of the last days of Cancers life in my body!
Last night I received the BEST NEWS since this nightmare began, literally in the final hour that my Full Body Scan came back NO MORE CANCER anywhere else so it hasn’t spread and where it is will be GONE so here’s to checking off week 1 with only 11 more to go! Eviction notice has been served!!
I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m the most scared I’ve ever been in my entire life but I’m so ready to face this and to get back to my life!
There is simply NO words to thank each and every one of you for the overwhelming support I’ve received I’ve the past few weeks. Texts, emails, cards, incredible gestures in so many ways that I’m really still finding it hard to process.
From the bottom of my heart,
I am humbled by these expressions. I have read every single message, hundreds and hundreds and I truly don’t know what I’ve ever done in this lifetime to be showered with such an Ocean of Love. With each message, I’ve thought of the person sending it & how our paths have crossed and how grateful I am to know you and that whatever our friendship story is, it was enough to make you reach out with care.
I’m going to hold onto a & use it to ride right out of this storm! I am the luckiest girl to have the enormous village that I do. Someone very close to me referred to it as TEAM ANNIE
and I love the strength of that!
I also intend to respond back to every single message, I just haven’t had the time trying to prepare for today and also get my life in order for this journey but I’m about to have a lot of time that I know I need to take to focus on letting my treatments do their job.
Accepting help has never been easy for me. I’ve always had the attitude that I can do things on my own and never want to impose or burden people. But I realized by changing up my usual stradegy of “I can do it on my own” and pushing myself too hard that I can be BIGGER than Cancer by surrendering to what I need to get through it and that isn’t being weak or letting it get the best of me. instead taking a step back to allow this process to do its thing then I WILL win in the best way. There’s many ways to get to the top of the mountain.
Today is going to be a long day but by tonight Week One ✔️,
Only 11 more to go!! Let’s do the damn thing!!!!
Sending Holiday Cheer & my love,
annie
