Official 5 Years Cancer Free!

Hello! Yes, I haven't blogged in awhile...I know...No news is good news! I have reached the 5 year mark with no reoccurence of kidney cancer. Although in the"cancer world" you are not considered cancer-free until the 10 year mark..I am still celebrating! The 5 year mark is considered remission but again..Still celebrating... Since my last blog, my coworker lost her battle with breast cancer...It was a sad time for everyone that knew her or had met her. She fought it with everything she had...I still pray for her family. I try to think what if that had been me? I would want people praying and supporting Tim and the boys. It is also survivor guilt...Why did cancer take her but spare me? Only God can answer that one but you still wonder.. On Christmas Day we lost our 15 year old yorkie, Spencer. We didn't get to say goodbye to him before he died and that was hard for me. My dogs had been so instrumental in my recovery(mental and physical) from kidney cancer, that it broke my heart. Spencer's big brown eyes and mischievious antics still bring a smile to my face just thinking about it. I know I have written about it before but the unconditional love of a dog you never forget... My New Year's resolution is to blog more...It's good for the soul and hopefully brings a smile to those who choose to read it! (Thank you by the way...)
