In the sixteen years since I began to learn what it means to be a cancer survivor I have:
And really, what more is there? I am alive and grateful for each breath. My love and thanks to all who are accompanying me on the journey.

  3. clicked on this blog because of the cool picture. Happy 16th again! Even if it was months ago celebrating cancer free is an ongoing process. We celebrate it daily in this house especially everytime I see my daughter out riding her horse. Stage 4 to cancer free in one year! She is a go girl!You are too!
