One Year Anniversary

I'm sorry it has been so long since I've updated my blog.  No news is good news however.  I was diagnosed with breast cancer December 1, 2010...... ONE YEAR AGO!!!!  In some ways it seems like yesterday and in some ways it seems like a life time ago.  Unbelievable.

I am doing wonderful and feeling well.  I had my 3 month check up last month and all my blood work is normal... Praise God.  I have to admit that a recurrence is always in the back of my mind but I don't obsess about it.  I'm thankful for today and that's all that matters.

Check out my hair :)  It came back snow white and curly.  I've decided to leave the color natural ..... it's growing on me.  I recently got a haircut and the curls are gone.  I'm sad about that, I really liked the ringlets.  It's great to have hair again, although the hair on my legs could have stayed away forever...hahaha. 

I'd like to wish each of you a very blessed Christmas and happy and HEALTHY 2012.

With Love,
Connie

    Those anniversaries are just so wonderful, and each year I'm more thankful! I am approaching 4 years since my diagnosis. I can't believe it. I know how you feel about the little anxiousness, etc. Every time I hear of someone who has had that cancer return, I wonder, will I be next. But if we take each day as a gift and live it to the fullest, then we have truly lived!
    I love your hair! Mine came in straight as a poker and very fine. I had always had this thick, coarse hair with lots of body. Now, it is fly away straight. I feel like a young teen ager just learning how to handle my hair and find what I'm comfortable with.

    I'm still lovin' that smile!!!!!
