Today we go see the oncologist at Lakeland for test results and to find out when she will be starting chemo (we hope) but I wanted to make sure I put this in here in case some of you haven't seen it. Becca wanted to say something to all of you so....here it is :
Pardon my silence on here since the news of my diagnosis came out. I've been quite overwhelmed by both how quickly the word has spread and by the kindness shown in the shares, the comments, the messages, the thoughts and prayers, the words and the deeds. I know that I am not special, not the only person to have ever faced this or who is facing this now, nor do I believe that I am any more deserving or worthy than those other people to receive such support. I am truly stunned and humbled by all of this.
As for me, I'm doing fine. Really. The anxiety that I had right after I got my diagnosis is basically gone and I'm ready to move on with this treatment. It won't be easy, it won't be pretty, but I'll keep my chin up and keep moving forward. I won't be posting any pink ribbons, any "Click 'like' if you hate cancer" memes. You won't see how I'm feeling on a day to day basis. My gosh, I'd get sick of me! This is the last I'll probably mention it for a while. (Though you never know - you might see some pictures of some cool hats or wigs in the coming months.) I'll get through this - WE will get through this.
This is my time to yell "PLOT TWIST!" and move on.
Thank you all again, my friends. What an amazing group of people to call "friends".
Rebecca
I'll be back later to let you know how things went and what's next.
