Back to workViews: 448

I’m feeling great, and finally got everything together to head back to work. While it almost feels that I’m getting control back, I know it is only temporary. I pray that I can maintain enough energy through the treatments to work just a few days a week. I pray for any shred of normalcy.

I meet with the radiation folks on Tuesday. Work on Monday and Friday. Wednesday and Thursday I have to get everything ready for the party. Woohoo! I have no idea really what I want-mainly a good time.

Speaking of normalcy, I have to renew my driver’s license. New picture and all.

How is it that I am a cancer patient, yet I have no idea what to say to my friend who just had her workup? Stage IV breast cancer…I know yall will include her in your prayers.

It was this time one year ago that my life really began to crumble. Before the cancer showed up. It started around this time and quickly went downhill, and in October Robin and I went to Ireland. That’s when I gave up on my marriage, and realized that it was more than just a yeast infection I was dealing with. I kissed the Blarney Stone while we were over there. I’m still waiting for the gift of eloquence. =o) So is the cancer the answer? It has kept us together this long. “These twists and turns of fate…” These next few months will be hard not only due to treatments, but to the memories of last year. I quit thinking about it everyday.

I pray for all of you. I pray for comfort and peace. I pray for answers. Mostly I pray for God to help me to be the answer to someone else’s prayer, to be a source of that comfort and peace that someone is needing.

XOXO
