The new me...
I guess this is the real me. The "I've stared cancer in the face and beaten it" me.
My fight is over. I've finished all my treatments, both chemotherapy & radiation. I've emerged on the other side of survival with a stronger realtionship with myself and a deeper love of my husband and the people and things that are important to me.
These have undoubtedly been the worst months of my life. I have never felt so alive as I do these days. It feels good to do even the most mundane things - because I can. I am alive and ready to put this cancer shit behind me and get on with the business of living.
Today is America's Independence Day, so too shall it be my Independence Day. This is where I sign off and say thank you to everyone who supported me over these past few months. I couldn't have made it through without all of you!! I am done with Bob, so I'm done with this blog. Of course there will be updates quarterly, then annually with my follow-up scans, but for now I'm ready to not have cancer consume me anymore. I'm ready to have my life back. I'm ready to not feel the need to let everyone know all about me - no offense but a girl's gotta have her privacy :) Should anything transpire I will certainly keep you all posted. Should there be a need (i.e. babies or travel or other happy life things) to let you all know about I will certainly start a new blog all together as I would not dare share my new life with Bob anymore. I am free of him and I'd like to stay that way.
For those of you who would like to stay in contact, please feel free to email me anytime (heathersilva@cox.net). I'm not always the best at returning emails or calls immediately but I'll work on that.
