The Gift of Cancer

Ok I know that is  so a odd title but really sometimes (like I have said before) with out going though Cancer I would not be the Person, the Mom, the Wife, the Friend I am now. I really feel that there is a reason for the fight.

Today well at my son's Kindergarten concert/graduation ( I have no clue how he got that old) I over hard another mom who said she was just about to start treatment. I quickly came over & gave her my card (HI if you are reading this, please know I am here if you)  and let her know she is not alone. I also gave her a few quick things I found helpful. After talking to her it gave me even more motivation to gather my thoughts & get "My Story" down on write. My Goal is to have this down before CancerCon next year.

In other news I signed up for my first 5K :) Its called Dirty Girl Mud Run  I have never been a runner so this should be a lot of fun. I plan on doing it with Robyn (plus other we hope) also plan on wearing tutus ;)

So what else is new .... Oh it's been 1 year since I ended chemo .... WHAT!!!! Yep that is right it's been one year. Truthful I thought it would be a bigger party but really it's just another day now.

Wow this post is all over, sorry :) Well below are a few links to places we found helpful.

I can't start anywhere other then a group that has really helped me Stupid Cancer.
Next one is one that really helped our son it's called Kids Konnected they have an amazing books called Moxie to help kids with Cancer.
Even though I didn't need a transplant we still found that the Super Sam Video from Be The Match also helpful for our son to understand.

I am sure there is much I am missing but what I want to leave with those who are reading this with Cancer is that you ARE NOT ALONE, there are many others out there who have gone though what you have done & those who are in the same stage as you. I am always here if you need to talk.

Here is proof you can have hair post Chemo

6 years ago yesterday My world changed forever

I can't believe that 6 years ago yesterday Chris & mine world changed FOREVER. We went from just us to a family. How could we know that the little man joining us would change our world so much.  But then again I guess we should had known what kind of smarty we would in our hands when he spotted updating his Facebook page after being less then a day old.
