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!
