You are one very courageous woman, and I am a big fan of that. Imagine what we could all accomplish if we all shared your sense of accomplishment!

In the meantime, enjoy your house, your dog, your work and all the positive things in your life.. :) I would love to see pics of your home decor. :)

Take care!!!!

I will be sending you positive thoughts for your scan in June. (I have one in June, too!) I hope the side effects continue to lessen until you are back to feeling normal. I love this blog and I would love to see you return here, but if you feel like starting fresh, I will absolutely follow you to a new blog! I’m glad you’re taking the time you need to rest and figure out if you want to keep blogging. I sure hope you do- but more than that, I hope you regain balance in your life. Just do what you need to do, and if you have to quit blogging, don’t feel guilty!

I was pleseantly surprised to find out you wrote a post, and that you’re handling life quite well given the nasty (ex)cancer thing. Been there too, it’s a strange period. For me, now, a year later there still isn’t something like ‘normal/ as before’, but life becomes more of your own every step of the way. I wish you the best, finding out what’s right for you! Give Buster a big hug from The Netherlands :)

I’m sorry the chemo side effects are still plaguing you. With my uncle they lasted for around a year. He would say that overall things were better, but some things, like his memory, were worse than during treatment. Eventually it phased out. I like the idea of a new blog, but I hope you keep this one as well. You are no doubt a different person than you were before cancer, and a new forum to express yourself makes a lot of sense.

I hope you continue to write if you feel inclined to!

For me, I also think some of them are worse now than when I was going through treatment. Chemo brain for sure has thrown me for a loop – if I don’t write something down, I can’t remember it. The fatigue is pretty strong, as well as some neuropathy in my hands and feet. Annoying, but nothing I can’t live with. Hope you continue to see a reduction in side effects and have a fantastic time in Colorado!!

I think a new blog is a great idea–a new start to match YOUR new start! I would love to see more photos of Buster and your house, and perhaps it would be nice to have your readers cheering you on as you return to full health.
Anyway, I am glad you might be back.

But really, do what makes you happy as far as blogging goes!

So exciting about the house- I hope you’ll post some pics at some point!

i want pictures of the girly house! i once had a raspberry pink painted kitchen. my girlfriend and i loved the color…i can’t picture any guy tolerating it though. it was uber feminine :)

So glad you’ve taken the past few months to really focus on you. And my opinion? Go for a new blog for the “new you”! If it’s painful coming back here and seeing “cancer car wreck”, then start fresh if you still want to write. :) (Otherwise, your readers don’t see your health and what you’ve been through as a “cancer car wreck that happened on the internet for the whole world to see”…girl, you needed support! You had people all over the world praying for your recovery! :) It’s a beautiful thing to see you cancer-free.
