Starrynight

Welcome back! Thanks for the "follow"... How wonderful that you have a second career that suits your talents. I still draw stick figures! If you can ever share one of your illustrations with us we would love that.
And congratulations on being a 4 year survivor, (I'm coming up on 8 years and one thing I've learned, among the many things that having had cancer has taught me, is to be grateful for every day and for those I love and those who love me back).
I find the thought of recurrence fading a bit with each passing year, until it's time for my annual mammogram! But I choose to live life and not waste time worrying about something that may never happen.
This winter I underwent two major surgeries, nothing to do with cancer, developed septicemia, spent weeks in the hospital and now 3 months of Visiting Nurse home visits...I'm done worrying about what is essentially out of my control!
Keep in touch...and again, welcome back to the forum. Sending along best wishes and Happy Mothers Day!

Hi Starrynight. Wanted to say welcome. Saw your post about getting through the first chemo and keeping a positive attitude. You are so right, very important. They will be good days and bad days while you fight this fight. Keep focused on the future, because it does get better. I'm through 6 out of 8 rounds of chemo (7th is tomorrow) and just knowing I'm almost there is uplifting! Keep your inner strenght revved up and good luck ! : )
