Today marks one year since my last chemotherapy… I came across a photo my dad shared on facebook of me receiving my last round of chemo and so many emotions came back. When I seen this photo it reminded me of how exhausted I was, how torn down. I remembered the night prior sobbing in the shower and telling myself I couldn’t do it anymore, that I wanted to give up so badly. My body hurt, I was so medicated and swollen from all the steroids, I had no energy and I missed my NORMAL life.
I look back and still can’t believe all that I did. The chemotherapy, bi-lateral mastectomy, oophorectomy and reconstruction surgeries. This past March I finished the very last of it all. I feel so blessed to still be here with my husband, children father and amazing family & friends. I am so thankful for my faith that has helped me get through my tough days. I appreciate life so much, the little things mean so much to me now.
I am still working on getting my energy back, its not the same but I will challenge myself everyday. My hair is finally growing back, actually like a fro crazy fro… ugh…. my eyebrows & eyelashes all grew back too… I can say I’m extremely grateful for that too…. So one year down!!!! YAY!!!!!
