Journal entry by Cindy Doolittle

I have never had a "how many more sleeps" countdown feel so strange.  As I count down to my last treatment, Monday,  I recognize I am counting down to my freedom and more sickness.  I have never had anything that is so exciting and anxiety driving all in one.  My freedom gives me back so many things that cancer takes away.  

As I have with my full experience, I choose to be positive.  I choose to be excited about my end and not anxious about what that may entail.  I am stronger than the sickness.  I am stronger than cancer.

 

I choose to count all of the good things that came from this experience:

  1. I don't have to shave my legs
  2. I don't have to do my hair daily (I just get to wash it sometimes)
  3. I don't have to buy all my expensive products for my hair or my makeup
  4. I don't have to put on makeup
  5. I get to enjoy my beauty and get comfortable with who I am.
  6. I get to workout (sometimes) and know that it is a privilege to do so
  7. I count my blessing differently than ever before
  8. I get to stop caring about petty shit
  9. I have learned that perspective really is everything
  10. I now know I am truly brave, strong and courageous
  11. I get to use this to do better in the world and really make a difference for others

 

I am proud of my journey and can't wait to see where it takes me.  It wasn't easy but it will be conquered soon.

Thank you for the tremendous support, love and prayers.  I got here with you.
