Happy 5th Cancer-Free-Versary to Me!

Amazingly enough I'm at a loss for what to write about. Today is my 5 year Cancer-free-versary. It's a pretty frikkin big deal. It's been a pretty emotionally charged week. A new friend of mine came across my blog, that got me thinking about it, so I read it from start to finish this week. Talk about an intense walk down memory lane. I will admit that I ended up in a fit of tears more than once.

 I read about starting treatment, my chemo buddies, making decisions about what I needed to do next, having to shave my head, my awful surgery pathology report, and some frikkin awful prognosis statistics the docs gave me after surgery.

 I think we can go ahead and say that I kicked the crap out of all those statistics!

 I completely attribute that major win to my team! My amazing team of doctors, my phenomenal family, and my incredible friends - new and old! That part of my walk down memory lane I truly enjoyed. 

I took today off of work because I really think its important for me to pause and recognize. I'm not dwelling on the cancer part of my life in a negative way, but recognizing where I was and where I am now. I think its pretty darn important to do this. To quote a cheesy commercial, "You've come a long way, baby!"

 I'm sitting here at Lost Dog typing this on my iPad while I wait for Rishi, Nimbu, and Ajay to meet me for a celebratory dinner after getting my celebratory tattoo and enjoying just a spectacular day - in spite of the gray and gloomy weather - and I'm getting a little choked up thinking of all that I want to say. So I'm going to keep it to myself. Just know that I'm in an amazingly happy place right now!

 So here's to the next 5 years, the 10 years after that, and the 20 after that! I'm pretty frikkin excited to see how my life plays out! Thank you all for your amazing support, love, and friendship! Now... Back to my beer and dog collars! ;-)
