A year ago this morning the doctor said "it's cancer." I can still see the weird expression on his face when he said it. Strange the things you remember. I also remember reaching for my sister's hand. She was with me because my dh was not able to walk still as a result of his accident just two months prior. I came to the peas and asked for support, prayers, and friendship. I received so much from everyone. I went through surgery (lumpectomy), five months of chemotherapy and 33 radiation treatments. It was long, painful, and really difficult but I knew I had so many people pulling for me...I really believe that made a huge difference! On Saturday morning my husband and I (along with 9 other family members, but that's another story, lol) leave for a week in Punta Cana! This is our long overdue honeymoon and we are both beyond excited!! I'll be sure to post a picture when we get home! Thanks so much, friends! I'm so very grateful.

In some ways, it's hard to believe it's already been a year. Although I know for you it has probably seemed endless.
I'm just so glad to hear how well you're doing and that you are about to finally get your honeymoon!

That is wonderful news, I hope you all have a fabulous time!
I still to this day (22 years later), recall the look on my Dr's face when he told me too. Strange how those things stay with us.
Sending you continued healthy thoughts!

kellee....did you even know you had that kind of strength? I look back and can't believe I made it through chemo, don't know what my decision will be but I will face it again sometime in the future. Everyone deserves an awesome honeymoon/vacation after going through hell and I hope you have the best time ever!! We can't wait to hear all about it!

I can't believe it's been a whole year! I'm sure it feels like it was only yesterday...Nobody deserves a big vacation any more than you and Dick after the year you had! Enjoy!

I am another one who read about your difficult journey. It's hard for us to believe it's been that long, but I'm sure it seems every day of a year to you. I am also celebrating with a real life friend who just finished her almost year long treatment and has only been married a year. She found out about hers right after the wedding, as you did, if I remember correctly.
