It has been around 2 1/2 years since I was diagnosed, 1 1/2 years in
remission, and I am doing great. My hair is shoulder length, I've
lost all of my chemo weight plus some, and checkups have been clean and
stable.
I do have scar tissue in my chest, very close to my heart. I also
have scarring in my lungs from one of my chemo drugs- my doctor says
I'll never run a marathon- small price to pay.
My year of treatment seems almost like a dream. But I love telling people "I'm a cancer survivor."

It does seem like a dream - did you really go through all that only 1 1/2 years ago - was I there? You are so strong!
Love you so much! MOM Re: 2 1/2 years down, and doing fine!

kim,
your blog is the first one i found after my wife was diagnosed with lymphoma four months ago. i was searching for anything. i got so much of it here. just a personal connection with the disease instead of what i was getting in the hospital. i don't think my wife ever came here, but i did. all the time. reading up on your path, your treatment, your story. and at the same time, i started my own blog.... http://luchalee.wordpress.com and 250,000 people later, here i am coming back to pay homage to you and your ass-kicking of the cancer that showed up at your door. our story is the same, and different. go and read if you want, or don't...you've lived it. my wife was 34 and 20 weeks pregnant the day she was diagnosed. we lost the baby. but 6 chemo treatments later she may be in remission. anyway, just wanted to thank you for being out there, for not hiding away with your cancer, even if you wanted to. stories beget stories. and we all need stories like yours about cancer, so that we can live them out ourselves. much warmth, daniel weinshenker Re: 2 1/2 years down, and doing fine!
