Journal entry by Lisa Shaffer

Hi all,

I am happy to say that it has been a month since my last chemo treatment! I rang the bell loud and proud!

I have really appreciated my life over these last few weeks.  I have had time to reflect on the last six months, and I am somewhat overwhelmed by the love and support I have had from my family, friends, colleagues, students, players and their families.  I am also completely grateful to my doctors and nurses.  Their care was beyond what I could have asked for.  I am especially grateful to the nurses that took care of me during my chemo treatments. Chemo is not easy, and they were a big part of helping me stay positive through it all.

This has been hands down the hardest thing I have ever been through.  It tested me like nothing else. I am happy to say that I feel like I am an even stronger woman than I was before my cancer diagnosis. I would give anything for cancer not to exist, and I hope there is a future without it. That is my prayer...

I am thrilled to be getting back to school and to coaching.  I am most happy, however, to still be here.  I love my life and my boys so much!  I am grateful to live each day and continue to be mom, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, teacher, and coach.  I will never take a day for granted.

All my best,
