Cancer is a word, not a sentence.

So I have officially overcome my first chemotherapy experience! It feels great, I feel great. Bring on the next one! I had a doctor's appointment this morning. I have been having some MILD pains near my heart. Which I didn't think were a big deal, but you can never be too safe so I called and Dr. Hansen wanted me to come in today to have a look at things. Got my finger poked, and all my blood cells are normal, which is a good thing. Dr. Hansen listened to my heart and lungs, everything sounded good. Also, the lymphnodes in my neck have gone down rapidly. All from just one chemotherapy. It is truly amazing that I am already having such amazing results. I am so thankful to hear good news. I was happy to go in this morning. I feel lost not having a doctor's appointment everyday! Love being there. I have been considering going to school to do something in the hospital. I have had the best experience so far with all my nurses and doctor and I just figure maybe I can make someone else's experience just as great! We will see.

I'm grateful for every new, healthy day I have.

Lance Armstrong is my new hero..

my kindle; I am IN LOVE with! My sweet Uncle Ray and Aunt Shiryn bought one for me and sent it to me. I wasn't at all expecting it. So when I opened it, I was in shock! It really is so convenient to have. It is amazing what such a little thing can do. First book I bought was A Walk to Remember. It is on my list of books I want to read. I love the movie so much but the book is even better! It's a lot different then the movie. I love Nicholas Sparks.

Went to lunch with Casey today. It was good seeing her and catching up on life. Laughing about all the fun times in high school. It was just what I needed. We have both come along way. She seems a lot more happier than she was in high school. As am I! Which is great because we know we both deserve it (:

I am so thankful to be where I am. I couldn't imagine being anywhere else. I love my life.
