A New Beginning

Ok ok, so I'm really terrible at keeping a blog....what's it been um almost a year?

Quick recap.  Yes I did have my surgery and yes I did end up permanently tied to a bag, but no it has not diminished my life.  I am still an active woman, a crazier than ever wife and a mom of two active rug rats.  Sure there is more daily maintenance that I have to endure, but that is life.  I started chemo in May and finished 9 out of 12 treatments.  I had a really hard time keeping up my blood counts that the doctors felt enough was enough.  I wanted to jump and kiss the doctor when she said I was done, I even considered doing a little irish jig right in her office.  Ok, so I didn't get all 12 treatments in, the key is that I made it thru over 6 months of chemo!  Even better, I've had my post treatment scan and I'm NED!!!!

It is now 2013 and time for me to start a new.  2012 was a down right shitty year for us and now in the new year we are back to where we are suppose to be.  So what am I going to do with my new year you ask?  Well I am making a resolution to continue this blog.  Not as a cancer blog, but as a life blog. (Hmmm, life blog, sounds like a name for a B horror flick....Life Blog Attacks or the sequel Return of the Life Blog!!!)  I'm turning it into a blog to keep people updated on our going ons, what are we up to, how are we handling what life throws us...and trust me life throws us a lot of shit.  So here in the new year I am promising at least 1 blog post a week.  So grab some popcorn and get yourself prepared!
