It's been a roller coaster but it hasn't slowed me down
Primary dx and 2 lymph recurrences in two years hasn't been fun but it's not all been bad. I've had more time for my two small children, I've had time to work on my dissertation (should be finished by December!!), and I've spent a lot more time doing what I want to do. I've also developed closer relationships with family and rediscovered friends that I hadn't had time for during my chaotic corporate/commuter existence.
I hope and pray that this is it for me--that I beat the odds of the diagnosis and that I'm NED forever. But without this experience I wonder if I would have ever realized how much life I was wasting on stupid things.
