It's been a long time since I've updated. My life has done a complete 180. I'm happier than I have been in years... but in the last week or so I have been fighting depression again. My health has not been good and my body is not as strong as it used to be. So many years on the meds to keep the cancer in remission is taking it's toll.
To summarize a few things that have happened in the last year ...
My husband moved out and my best friend moved in. (well.. actually he moved in before my husband moved out)
I have been sitting on the divorce papers because my health has been bad and I am terrified of his insurance company dropping me.
I have been scanned, poked and prodded more in this past year than the 10 years I have been fighting cancer.
This month marked my 10th anniversary of my battle.
I lost one of my dearest friends that I thought I would never lose but gained back a friend that I thought was lost forever.
My kids are so grown up and handling the divorce so well. My daughter is in middle school and my son is in high school and is now driving!!!
I no longer sit alone in my chemo treatments as I have for the last 4 years. The greatest friend I have ever had takes one day a month off work to be with me, then works a Saturday to make it up. I can't even begin to explain how much that means to me. He has been there for me (and my kids) through thick and thin. I would have never made it the last 6 months without him ... (actually the whole last year since I met him)
