Celebrating Thanksgiving with my family this year was very difficult, although there are many wonderful things I'm grateful for and so many great people around me who support me and give me strength (what would I do without you?), I can't help  but to feel resentful and angry - staying positing is challenging at times and it is then when I go back and re-read your e-mails and blog comments. All your positive comments, love and support carry me through those most difficult moments = I look forward to hearing from you.   Can't thank you enough for doing and saying what you do.  There are no words, there is no way I can express how grateful I am for being surrounded by such wonderful people (angels).  I keep asking myself, how can I show my appreciation to those who want me to live, to overcome and beat (as much as I do) this cancer?There are no words to show how much strength you give me, so it is then that I stop feeling sorry for myself and find a way or a reason to stay positive and focus on my one and only goal!!! Being outdoors  (particularly hiking) and around people aliviates the feelings of anger. 

The kids are so understanding and helpful, they take good care of me, they are my main reason and inspiration   .  And then there is that very special person in my  life who makes me forget there is anything wrong and makes it all perfect for me -   so lucky to have him in my life XOXO

I get my second treatment next Tuesday -- I'm ready for it!!!  My hair has been falling  , it happened over  a matter of days-- and as hard as it seems to see that happen, I know that's a sign the chemotherapy is working.  No matter how much I prepare for my hair to fall out -- a girl is just never ready for it!!!
