21 years ago today

I went in for my final radiation treatment for Hodgkins Lymphoma.

I am grateful to still be alive.

You are far from being alone in your gratitude!

Your children, your husband, and countless numbers of us are likewise grateful, sweetie...

6. You are an inspiration!

to me personally.

Tell me, do you have any specific health regimen? Food, vitamins, supplements, meditation, exercise, etc.?

Great milestone- congratulations!!

[KitchenWitch]

8. I really try to eat a low fat diet with a variety of fruits and veggies

The exercise kind of comes and goes because of chronic pain issues. I really try to have a good belly laugh every day. I also try not to hold negative emotions inside, not always easy.

Many hugs,

15. I was at our local Relay for Life event

and this guy asked me how many years I had been a survivor and I told him 21 years. He then said that I must have been only 3 when I was diagnosed. :D

[LaraMN]

16. Ohhhh!

Did you kiss him? I bet you wanted to!

[KitchenWitch]

17. I did want to

My husband was RIGHT THERE though! :D

[bigwillq]

24. YAY!

So glad you are alive too! I like you lots! :bounce: :hi: :hug:

[Zavulon]

25. I'm glad you are, too.

Plus, I'm currently rooting for your Twins against the BlowSox. Lowell up, bottom of the 8th. BlowSox unfortunately up 1-0.

[KitchenWitch]

27. I know.

This has been a nailbiter of a game.

[Zavulon]

29. Papelbon took a loss last night, maybe he will again.

I can't stand that jerkoff, his dances and his prissy little stare on the mound.

[KitchenWitch]

30. Nothing would make me happier right now.

[Zavulon]

31. Well, a line druve that puts that jerk out for the year would make me smile, too.

I don't wish death on the guy or anything, I just don't want to see him on the mound anymore. BlowSox lose, Papelbon out for the year - the stuff dreams are made of.

[UrbScotty]

26. Congratulations!
