Today I Celebrate 10 Years as a Survivor
2 Attachment(s)
Today I celebrate 10 years from the day I was told I had Cancer....9 of those years have been as stage IV and on continual treatment. But I am here to say, there is life after a diagnosis and even during cancer treatment..... there is hope!
I received an onslaught of cards today in the mail (although none were from NED), and one had a verse that truly touched me... Cancer is a Villain, who doesn't play fair... But it Can't dim your spirit and it Can't silence prayer ... And if any of you are wondering how I spent my day of celebration....I am sharing these photos of me.....day 2 of Tomo radiation as I continue to live & survive this journey..Thank you to all who have helped me with wisdom, encouragement, love support and prayers along the way ...I truly couldnt have done it without you~~~ I have been blessed! |

Enjoy your 10 year mark day. It sure came FAST, didn't it?
You mean to say we have known each other almost that long?! Now lie still and let the machine do all the work. I love this approach for you and so happy they have decided to try to get rid of that node instead of using it to "measure treatment effectiveness." Enough of that. |
Re: Today I Celebrate 10 Years as a Survivor
That had quite an impact on me. Your message is one of such hope and possibility. Thank you for sharing it
Does anybody give awards for "Most Unusual Way To Spend a Birthday"? You would win, hands down! I hope there is chocolate cake at the end of that tube! Keep the faith! |

Re: Today I Celebrate 10 Years as a Survivor
Wow Sheila !! Congratulations !!!!!!!!!!! You go girl !!
You are proof that a stage 4 diagnosis is not the end of the line. Keep going for many, many more years. Thanks for "showing us" what Tomo radiation is. I always wondered. Do something special after your treatment to celebrate your anniversary. |
Re: Today I Celebrate 10 Years as a Survivor
WOW, there really are no words to say to express
all the time, treatments, scans and many other things you have been through. You are an inspiration to so many others and have blazed a path of understanding and hope for so many others. Just think if you had started a blog on day one, you would have a book that would be hard to lift but you have carried it all the way. Congratulations. patb |

Sheila, your courage and peace have so helped me to stay in the moment more often. To enjoy the ones I love and to take days more slowly. I'm so glad you are celebrating your 10th and look forward to cheering with you year after year to come. ma
