Heidi's Recent Update


03/09/08 

It has been over 2 years since I finished chemo, and even more shocking it has been three years since I was diagnosed.  I don't want to say that it has flown by, but it kind of has!  At least the recovery part.  Going through treatment was the longest year of my life.  This year also flew by.  I am starting to feel like my life isn't dictated by cancer as much as it was before.  But it is still very prominent.  In fact I have two doctors appointments and one day of scans just this month.  But I am grateful, no relapses, no re-occurrences.  I have been very lucky.  I am trying to refocus my life, and I am trying to find my purpose post cancer.  It has not been easy.  Maybe it's because I had pictured my life different at this point, and not that I regret what has happened and how I've changed, it's just that you have to adjust your game plan a little bit.  That is why I have decided to attend Chiropractor school.  It is something I am very excited about, and something that I have become passionate about.  I have discovered that health isn't all about healing, but a lot about prevention.  I am scared, but I am very hopeful that my future ahead will be bright and full of many adventures.
