Unless you have gone through something similar (or are currently going through it now) it’s hard to explain the emotional rollercoaster you’re riding. One day you feel as if you’ll live forever and the next you wonder if you’ll wake up the next day. From personal experience I could tell you the latter is more evident as you approach a CT or MRI to check status of the tumors and effectiveness of the treatments.
This is when your support team comes into place. Family and friends, who are behind you to celebrate when the news is good and catch you when it’s not what you want to hear. I’m lucky to have a great group of people from all over the world who are there for me in good times and bad. Those who send me words of encouragement especially when I’m waiting for test results. Friends I’ve known for years and new friends I’ve made recently, friends I haven’t see in years as well as those I’ve never met face-to-face, all banding together for one purpose – to support and be there for me.
I have to be the luckiest person in the world (besides the obvious) to have so many people who love and care about me. I just want you all to know that I don’t take this for granted. I have EVERY card and letter you have sent in a “special” box. When I’m down or not feeling that great and want to just feel sorry for myself, that box is an arms length away and I go through and re-read your messages. YOU are the reason I am so strong and fight every day to make the next.
Thank you for being in my life.
Let’s all Keep On Dancin’ together.
