4 months have flown by

It has been about 4 months since I finished all my treatments (chemo & radiation) for Lymphoma. I had a great check-up in June with no cancer recurrence. I have my 2nd check-up in Sept which I hope will go well. I returned to work in May full-time and have jumped back into the activities of life with both my feet. I have gradually regained more strength and endurance with each passing week and am now exercising regularly and feeling stronger. It is amazing how your body is broken down as a result of the treatments, but how within a few short weeks you can start to feel good again. I mention often to my family and friends how it just feels good to "feel good" again! It is a pretty simple statement, but really sums up what it is like. I am excited to just be able to not feel tired all the time....which when I was going through chemo, it was a constant effort to do the smallest things.

I praise God that I have come through this. I know the first year is critical in my recovery in that if it comes back it is more likely within the first year after treatment. I am trying not to think about that possibility, but instead live without fear of that and trying to trust in God's plan for my life regardless of the bumps in the road.

I will post more news of my next check-up in Sept.
