On my way to the rest of MY LIFE!

I started chemo three weeks ago...  I am expected to have three to four treatments (one every three weeks) depending on how well by body responds.  This Wednesday I go for the second one...  this time around the treatments are not as intense as the first time (Nov., 2008) - it is hard to believe that it has already been that long ago... the side effects are not as harsh this time either, and I also know what to expect and so I prepare myself for it mentally --- though its not easy.  I feel healthy and strong, still dancing and staying fit.  I am also spending much time researching and learning about my conditions and the many ways to stay healthy with natural remedies - which I have been following.  I will be traveling to Mexico next month for two weeks to a center where they do detox particularly to cancer patients.  I am also making arrangements through my primary care doctor to travel to Dallas, TX for a consultation with a team of specialists.   So I have been busy... very busy.... but in the mids of all this I am happy to report that something magical is happening to me, something that only happens once in a lifetime...  unexpected but very much welcomed...  those of you who know me know how hard I tried to stay positive and appreciative of all the gifts in my life, well I don't have to try anymore... IT JUST IS!   This feeling of happiness is the most natural and perfect feeling I have ever felt - I am one super lucky girl, and I know it!!! For now, I am saving the reason for my happiness for myself and the people closest to me, but I find it difficult to keep it a secret... so soon enough I will be posting pictures... with an introduction...

It seems that every time I hit a low point something happens that makes me bounce right back up to an even higher place, well this time around it feels as if I'm touching a piece of heaven and it is a most exquisite feeling. 

I am one tough woman and I'm kicking-ass when it comes to this cancer, and when I done - nothing, nothing will hold me back.  This is just a bad blow-out on my way to the rest of my life...  a very good life!
