Reflection

Well another year is about to finish and I find myself like many others reflecting.  So much has happened in this past year and yet so much of it seems to get tangled up in my memories.  I am so grateful to find myself in remission for at this time last year I had just finished my 2nd to last chemo treatment and was full of such anxiety of did it all work.  I am going to try and break this past year down--

January- Finished last chemo treatment.  Had my 2nd wedding anniversary.
February-  Got the news that my radiation field could be narrowed down to not include my face and just my neck and upper chest area.
March- Finished up radiation and lost my voice for 2 weeks from the treatment
April- Audrey turned 1
May- Bobby away from school for awhile.  Finally got to travel out of my area for the first time since all my treatment concluded!  First haircut since post treatment.
June-Got a job teaching 4th grade at a school I really love since taking a year off and found out I was officially in remission
July-With Bobby back we can finally visit New York again and have my chemo port removed!
August-School starts back and Audrey starts with daycare for the long haul
September-follow up appointment with doctor I am still feeling pretty good
October-Bobby left for awhile and was able to travel with Audrey again to Oregon
November-Celebrated Thanksgiving with Bobby and Audrey-awaiting and overthinking my scans next month
December-Scans show I am still in remission after about a year out of treatment of chemo and radiation

Next year----hoping for a very healthy New Year and to never have to return to the treatments again!

Wow, what a year it has been.  I am hoping to have this coming year lead to many great things for my family and yours! 

Happy New Year!
