I am doing so well I have not had a moment to even do a update on me! I am again Taxi Mom and Wife and Homemaker and Teacher and friend and daughter and.... wow! did I learn anything over this past year and four months??
Yes, I have! All those things I rattled off are the things I love!!! I have also learned a huge lesson that I am putting into play each day: To look at things in a different way!
I am having Hergceptin treatment today. I have noticed that I have been rather negative about this treatment in the past! I was resentful for having to still go to treatments when I had my mind and heart set on being done as of surgery last summer!!! BUT that was not the case and now I am realizing how grateful I should be that the medical world has this drug for us to take to give us a longer life!!! I am going in today in a much better place and will hope that this turn around is in time to ensure all will be good once this medicine is in my body. We did figure out that on JUNE 29th I will be DONE with these treatments! (Or should I say SHOULD be done!!! since things can always change! and I am not always the one in control!)
I have taken this lesson of looking at things differently to most of the parts of my life! I take each challenging situation and work on thinking of it as a good thing. And you know it generally comes out better than the pessimistic side of me would think it would!!!!
Oh and the ever sharing Lynn has come out again!!! I am in a new Adult Sunday school group and I was not wanting to be defined as the cancer patient so I had not divulged that part of my life yet... UNTIL three Sundays ago.. and since then it has brought me so many more supporters in life as well as others I am now helping!! God is so good!! He has really taken such good care of us and we are now seeing all the good we are able to give as well as receive!!
Work has been stressful with all the changes that may or will occur for next school year! I am coming back to teach full days next year but where that will be is a mystery to me still! This would have torn me apart in years past!!! I do not like to give up control remember!!! BUT I am taking it day by day and working through the uncertainty pretty well! I will also take the news when given as a good sign of what should be even if it is not exactly what I am hoping for... which would not have been the case before because I could not always see that even when the answer is not what we expect it can still all turn out OK! .... More to come on that in a week. I hope!!
Thank you to all who have helped me on this journey! You are all the reason I am able to share and be as strong as I am today!
