Pinching myself!

When first diagnosed I lived my life in three month increments and measured my life expectancy in months. Now it seems I've started thinking in terms of years. Forgive me for plugging my blog but I hope to share hope.

I think we hav all felt the way you have. I will be a 4 year cancer free in November and am thankful for each and every day. Embrace each day and try to do something special for yourself each day.

Jean, thank you. I always think of this as being like a ride that takes gravity away from you and you. Ant tell if your falling or rising or spinning in place. It does get better.
