I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma just 2 weeks after learning I was pregnant with my fourth child. I was able to have chemotherapy while I was pregnant, deliver a healthy baby and eventually graduate from Nursing School. Class of December 2011! I am now 13 years in remission and my little girl Gabbi is 13 old. This blog tells our story.

A Stronger Person Than I Ever Realized
In my life, I have experienced hard times. This cancer was honestly not the first difficult thing I went through. From day one I had to work through difficult issues. I have dealt with things no one would want to deal with. I always found myself weak...and small for being sad during hard times. Then through all this I realized something. I am strong. I made it through all the difficult trials. I beat cancer. I think it finally dawned on me that the little shy girl who used to live here has left a long time ago. Now I've gotten tough. I hate proving how tough I am....but if it comes down to it I can do it. I guess cancer has helped me to see myself in a different light. I think I always had it in me. Cancer just helped me to know what I could do and honestly it's a pretty good feeling.
Good for you. There is a great feeling in being a strong individual. Highly recommend it to everyone.
ReplyDeleteLoved the video. I could have used that pen while I was still working. Oh wait, I was the person doing the talking. Okay, I still had some bosses above me.
Have a terrific day and Thanksgiving Sandi. :)
It's good to be tough. And it's good to know it. Next month it will be two years since my own cancer. It does change the way you see yourself and the way you see the world around you. Have a good Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of you for recognizing your strength ...
ReplyDeleteBlessings & happy Thanksgiving :-)
Strength is a good thing to have. Honestly you never know how strong you are until you have to face something really major.
