This post might be long or short. It is the way.
This time a year ago, I had to go under for one of the most difficult surgeries that doctors perform. When you think about my type of cancer and where it is and where they have to go to get it. It's huge! Many were around and watched me through this but one was there every step of the way. My rock, my soulmate, Kimberly Wariner - She, we had so many things thrown at us and we made it. It was not easy but we could not have done it without each others love and support. I love you and thank you for ALL that do and continue to do. We got this babe!
I made it. It took longer but we expected that during the and after the surgery. I know I fought and possibly put up a big fight to win, I just did what I needed to do to survive.
It has been a LONG and at times a struggle year full of all kind of adventure. I created a story place though I have not updated this site in a few months. I will get the done soon! https://sitdownshutupandhangon.com
The latest update was that I had another CT scan a few weeks back and it was clear once again. I have two more treatments, one for March and one for April and then my chemo is done and I will continue a few times per year to keep a checkup and CT scans. The critical is up to 2 years after all this that is does not come back and It keeps its ugliness in the dumps and stays there.
To be honest, I worried, yep I'm human and I put on a happy face and that is the real me. On the inside you worry and struggle, on the outside you win and you show that your winning. I started out with one thing on my mind. I got this and I am going to win. More than that I had to be positive 100 percent of the time. Maybe it was more like 98 percent. I chose and hope that anyone that is diagnosed with cancer starts off with positive vibes. I truly feel if you create any negative then you will struggle and will not find a way to support yourself and become strong, for you. When you go on this journey, no one matters except you. You first, then those you love and then those that are around to support you.
Speaking of support, I have so many names and I can not think them all. You should know who you are and what you mean to me to walk with me on this journey. I love you all.
That's it folks, my 1 year post surgery is today and I am winning. I kicked cancers ass and I am very proud of it and it is time to put this road behind me and work on the next journey. Stay tuned for more on that journey and what is coming.
If you took the time to read this far. Thank you! I love you. I only ask one thing for all those that are reading this. Take a few deep breaths, starting today, focus only on what you can control. Forget the past and forget the future. Focus on today, tomorrow is not here yet and you may not have tomorrow. So, focus on today even if your lazy and don't accomplish anything. It's ok, just love this life and find happiness in your and the air around you. Remember my motto... "LIVE LIFE, DON'T LET LIFE LIVE YOU!"
