So, I used to have Cancer

While I had Cancer I prayed to God that the days would fly by and that the bead times would be over quickly....now we are here, bad times gone!!!
I am so happy now, tired, but happy!  Everyone tells me I look normal, but looks can be very deceiving.  I feel very fatigued, I am taking all kinds of supplements just to feel normal.  The Chemo medicines left me with symptoms that will take a few months to overcome.  

I ran for three months on adrenaline and on steroids, these made me very hyper and made me feel invincible. I now have no energy and I can get very emotional, specially when I see or hear of anyone with cancer.  There are so many cancer commercials on TV, since I am always tired, I lay around watching TV most of the time and whenever such commercial comes on, I have to change the channel or I will end up tearing up.  Going to church has the same effects on me, singing and praying just makes me cry.  Is a cry of disbelief that I have been blessed enough to get through this in one piece!! 

At the end of this month is my first PET scan to see if there are any remaining cancer cells in my body, this scan is where they inject me with radioactive material to highlight any concentration of cancer in my lymph nodes.  We are hoping and praying that everything is normal and that the treatment got rid of all the cancer.  So, the scary part is not quite over, just happy to know that I am in excellent hands.

Thanks for listening and checking in on me.

Love,
Nita
