I have had the chance to do a lot of thinking and praying. I just want all of my OCF buddies know that I am no longer going to let cancer steal my joy. I am taking my life back and declaring war. I was able to eat some pudding today for the first time and it went down. Took awhile, but it went down. I am declaring myself cancer free until they tell me otherwise and I am getting on with my life. My goal is to be able to get this PEG tube in a month right after my PET scan March 26 says all clear. I am going to begin enjoying life again. It has taken enough from me, well today I am done allowing it to take anymore from me. I am going to be here to support others in their journey as I have been helped. This place is a true blessing and I am forever greatful.
