Treatments completed July 9th. CT Scan CLEAR August 28th! Official declaration: CANCER FREE August 29th.
I am beyond overjoyed. I am relieved. Happy. Grateful beyond measure. I imagined I would sleep soundly last night....but, quite the opposite. I was too wound up to sleep well. It was a happy insomnia, though. I allowed myself to imagine all the possibilities for the days ahead, and I just couldn't turn my brain off. I still have months of recovery and follow up appointments ahead of me. I have survivor's guilt and hypochondria to conquer. I have a mountain of bills to pay. But I am ALIVE! And I have my precious son, brother, family, friends, and students by my side! I am truly blessed. I am so grateful for everything I have learned on the journey, every amazing kindness that was bestowed to me, and the general outpouring of love from friends and strangers alike. Knowing you were praying for me gave me such peace and strength. And that love continues to sustain me today. I just pray I can pay it forward. My heart is with those who still struggle, who still fight, who have lost loved ones to cancer, or who feel alone in their journey. You are NOT alone. I am praying for you and surrounding you in light and love and hope.
