Finished- Finally

Well today marked another celebration in this Cancer Business!  Yes I do believe it is a business and a lot of people are making big money keeping people like me healthy.  That's a business I like!   I had 2 internal radiation treatments this week and that finished up my main "treatment plan".  I will see my radiology oncologist in Effingham in the next couple of weeks and then will see my regular doctor In Evansville at least every 3 months.  Really I think this has been the easy part.  Making life style changes is very difficult, even when facing cancer.   Eating differently, and I mean completely different is a part of my routine.  I am trying to have the majority of my foods in the good for you plant raw form.  Smoothies and Juicing makes this easier  Don't get me wrong, if I feel like a big mack I will have one, I just wont have one everyday!   I am ashamed to say that I have not started exercising yet, that's next on my list.  I thought of spring the other day and thought to myself, I cant wait to get to the tanner.  Another big no-no!   Making changes as I can and not getting too stressed out about it! 

Moving on

I have often thought about how I am going to feel after my treatments are over.  Today I worry, what if they didn't get it all or what if it comes back.  Those 2 fears will be with me forever.  They are both possibilities that I will have to deal with if they become realities.  My life I have learned is so precious, as well as my wonderful friends and family!  The lemonade of this situation is that I needed to get knocked in the head to realize it.  OK you all say you know that already.  Trust me you REALLY know it when faced with Cancer!

Its time to go back to work, start planning for Lucas surgery and planning for all the fun things we will do this summer!   Its really good to know that there is a really good chance I will be around this summer!

Life has changed for me, the way I take care of myself has to be different!   I want to teach my children about "paying it forward"!    So I am hoping that my blog will no longer focus on Cancer and will be more positive!
For those of you reading please think about someone in need and what you could do for them.  It may be a lonely widower living next door, it could be a child in need, it could be helping Olney with the fireworks!  Whatever you choose, just choose something and go for it.  Encourage those you help to do the same.  This really can make a difference in our world!  God Bless
