Cancer Free

Cancer Free

I am finished with radiation and finished with treatments.  This day seemed so far away for so long.  I never let myself get too excited for it just in case it didn’t happen.  Cancer doesn’t follow a predictable schedule or pattern if it doesn’t want to and I wanted to protect myself from epic disappointment if things went askew.  Now it’s finally here!  I can finally consider myself a cancer survivor.  I am carefully optimistic that I will get my life back.  Cancer changed my life considerably for a while and it took so much away from me.  I had to just watch and let it happen.  I am ready to take my life back.  I slowly feel more and more like the Angie I was before.  I have to hope that every follow up visit with all my doctors will confirm that the cancer is gone.  It is still difficult to grasp that I may be in the clear or that I may find myself back to the place I so desperately fought to leave.  I am cautious not to let myself be too fearful or too confident.  For now though, I will celebrate what I know.  I know that treatments are done.  I know that I am considered “cancer free”.  I know that no matter what happens I have my family and friends to help get me through it.  I know to be thankful for all that I have. 

Looking on the Bright Side…I am cancer free and ready to celebrate it!
