My lovely friend Haylee ran a race in North Carolina in my honor recently. She is amazing and a wonderful support to me. She sat beside me many nights when I was sick and weary from chemotherapy.
This is Michelle. She has been with me every step of the way. She stayed the night in the hospital with me when I had my mastectomy and sat with me during every chemotherapy session for 5 hours. What a rock star!
Cancer really does blow, but I am so grateful for the friendships that I have gained and those that have been strengthened through this journey.
"Today is the day I take my life back." - Rebekah Gregory. Seeing her come across the finish line of the Boston Marathon yesterday was so touching. Her statement resonated with me. It is the same reason I have signed up for the Marine Corps Marathon...to take my life back from breast cancer. To prove to myself that my best days are not behind me. This morning I was reminded that "taking my life back" is a daily commitment. Choices have to be made each and every day that effect the bottom line. So I ask you. How will you take your life back today?
That's so awesome you have such loving support! God bless them!
