I’m Feeling a Little…
Okay, a) lookit my cute boy!
b) I’m feeling a little Sporty Spice in this outfit
c) A little spunky
d) A little…NO EVIDENCE OF CANCER-Y!!!! Yup. Got my scan results back and finally heard the words “no evidence of cancer,” which is what you want to hear at this point. That’s not the same as “cancer free,” they can’t say that yet. Once you’ve gone five years with no evidence of cancer THEN they can declare you cancer free.
So, yeah. Good news. Funny thing though, I don’t feel like I’m as excited about the news as other people! Honestly, I never felt that this cancer at this time was going to be the end of me. Not in a “I’m such a positive person” way, just in a “in my bones” way. Like when I knew I was going to have a girl when I was pregnant with my daughter. I just KNEW.
So, the chemo stuff hasn’t worked its way out of my system yet, my blood cell counts are still low so I still don’t have much energy and they have me going back weekly to monitor my bloodwork…but I’M ON WAY TO FEELING BETTER. And I don’t have to have anymore *(*%&(*!! treatments, YAY.
So Caleb and I are getting out a little more.
The one-eyed kitty was distracting him.
And perfect for a little stroll around the neighborhood is this Junarose dress from Alexis Krase at plusBKLYN. I love pairing the blue tie-died dress with the grey thermal knit cardi from Avenue and sneakers.
Thanks everyone for all your thoughts, prayers and good wishes throughout this year – I appreciate every one of you. And now I just want life to go back to NORMAL!!!

I’m happy to be some good news for the world, ha 🙂 Maybe we should tell El Presidente so he can throw paper towels of joy at someone (I will not be political on the blog I will not be political on the blog).

No evidence of cancer is wonderful news. Can’t wait for the 5 year anniversary mark when we can all celebrate you being CANCER FREE! Love the dress. Super cute!

At first I was like oh jeez, five years is gonna take FOR. EVER. But really, I lived in that last apartment for 5 years and it seemed like it flew by.

I know the feeling of being told ‘cancer free’ and I also know the feeling that this was not the way I was meant to go! Congratulations!!!
Iris Smale
thank you Lord for “Super great news”. It takes awhile for that poison to get out of your system, but you’ll continue to feel better. Love seeing Caleb – and love our outfit.

Thanks, Iris <3 I'm starting to feel a little better already. Caleb and I are really well matched right now…neither of us can do much!
