I am surrounded by so many wonderful people who inspire me to keep fighting- even when it would be easy to give up! Today was a great day for me at school because I was filled with so many positive messages from those I work with and given a boost from my students! I cannot tell you how important it is to me to be surrounded by strong survivors who cheer me on each day as well as those who have wonderful news about others in their lives who are battling the same fight and winning! It has been a very hard weekend but the return to work was great for me!
I even found inspiration from a Dove Chocolate wrapper which said, "Trust your heart!" I saw this when I unwrapped this little chocolate treat and immediately realized this was a phrase I was really in need of reading at the time. Trusting my heart has been one thing I have been struggling with. I do not recognize how strong I am and how strong I have been to make it to this time. A dear friend also reminded me today that it is OK to let out the 5% of me that is not all sunshine and positive all the time. I just need to let it out and then come back to the positive to stay healthy and fight even harder.
I am working on enjoying the next week. The next treatment is the final one for the first set of 6. The next chemo set is supposed to be a little easier to deal with and easier side-effects to deal with typically. A change is definitely needed since it is harder and harder to get ready to go each treatment Friday. I will also have three weeks in between each of the final four treatments which I hope will make life a little easier.
