Sending Hugs...

Sending Huge Hugs.... to my friend Debbi. She is on the homeward stretch of her rads this week with the boost series. She has been through so much and I'm sure she is so happy to be nearing the end of treatment.

I look back at where I was one year ago, and it is already hard to remember. One thing this blog provides me now is a clear memory of it all, though. And that is not a bad thing. I don't ever want to forget 2011, for many reasons. The most important is for the birth of my first two grandchildren. But remembering the cancer treatment year is also a good thing. It helps to keep me in reality, and remind me of the hard times we survived, how strong I can be, but MOST IMPORTANTLY of all the loved ones in my life who were, and are there, for me.

It's been awhile since I've posted here. And I apologize for that. Because I know that there are friends out there following along and wondering how I am "after cancer".

I am doing marvelously well. I've lost about 15 pounds, and am keeping it off. Of course I'd like to lose a bit more, but all in good time. I'm spending time doing what I love.... playing with fiber, learning to quilt, and hugging and kissing my grandsons all the time!!! We have a litter of Maremma pups that are simply adorable. Life is still a struggle for sure, but I am happy, healthy, and staying positive.

Hugs,

Debbie... aka the cancer warrior ... AND SURVIVOR!!!
