My Life in August of 2010

It's been soooooo long since I've written on my blog. I suppose it's because I try to consider my breast cancer a thing of the past. Unfortunately, we survivors know that although the cancer is gone, the memories of the treatments are still paramount in our minds. Of course, those darn check-ups are constant reminders, too! I meet with my oncologist about every 3 months, and I have a mammogram and an MRI every year (6 months apart).

Since my last update, I've had two minor shoulder surgeries and somewhere around 18 months of physical therapy. About 4 weeks after I finished my PT, I was back in the office getting more PT on my elbow. Not sure if it's just age or the chemo, but apparently I'm not as agile on roller skates as I used to be.

My life is really full these days. I am still employed full time, I am interning with a photography studio, I'm learning about real estate investing, and I have a fantastic business called the Impressive Water Wellness Group (www.impressivewater.com). I got such great results throughout my breast cancer treatments with drinking Kangen Water, that now I share the water with everyone I know. It's awesome to watch people get great results. I've personally witnessed people go from having trouble getting out of bed daily to having their lives back. What a blessing.

I am thankful to be alive, and I'm thankful for my family and friends and specialists who have helped to get me to this great place in my life!
