I AM CANCER FREE!

Just realized that I have not been here in almost 3 months! So sorry!

Life is happening and we are a busy family :)

Here I am today happy, healthy and CURED! 

I am thrilled to be able to say that I AM CANCER FREE!! I kicked cancers ass!!!

I could not have done it without the wonderful support from my amazing husband and son. I also have many

amazing friends and family members who were here for me when I needed them most. 

I have 11 treatments down and only 1 to go! This month I will be celebrating my 27th birthday just 2 days after

my last and final chemo treatment. I can't wait to live my "normal" life again! The things I won't have to worry

about amaze me. I can have caffeine anytime I want. I can drink some ice cold beers anytime. I don't have to worry about being around 2nd hand smoke in a bar. One of the first things I plan to do 

is head to our local bar and eat some wings for WING NIGHT! Boy have

I missed these delicious wings and the atmosphere of a small hole in the wall bar.

I can not wait to LAY IN THE BEAUTIFUL SUN!!!! My pasty skin is yelling at me to get out there

but instead I listen to the orders of my oncologist who insists I may burn too easily. I also finally have some very fine peach fuzz growing back! My goal is at least to have a bob of my own by my the time of my 

sisters wedding next September. Rocking wigs is fun but can be such a pain in the ass!

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) for the support and help.

To my husband, without you I'd probably not be doing well at all right now. Thank you for sticking by me through sickness and health like you vowed to do. To my awesome daddy for being her for me when I couldn't keep my eyes open to take care of Vinny. When I just needed someone to talk to and not be judged. To my brother for not picking on me as much but still enough to let me know that he really does care and loves me. Without you I wouldn't be as tough as I claim to be. You are a jerk but I love ya :) 

To my sisters, who are ALWAYS here for me through everything in my life. To help take care of Vinny or just listen to me when I need a cry. Thank you for bringing those gorgeous kiddos to see me and put a smile on my face.  Thank you for just being yourselves and for all of your amazing support. To my sister in law who has checked in on me pretty much every single day since starting my treatment. For taking time out of her life to help with Vinny. For her support and love.To my in laws for bringing Jason and I dinner every Wednesday and spending time with Vinny.

To my husbands co workers for rearranging their lives at times to enable Jas to spend as much time with me as he needed to do. It is VERY MUCH appreciated.  To my extended family for the support and love!

Finally to a wonderful woman whom I met all because of stupid cancer. 

Rebecca Casciato, you have shown me that I am one tough mama! That I was going to have no problems kicking this cancers ass and doing it in style :) 

Thank you so much for your wonderful advice and answering all of my crazy questions at all hours of the day. Thank you for the meals, snacks, visits and everything else you did for me! 

I am honored to have a wonderful woman like you in my life.  I will be forever grateful for everything you have done for me. Can't wait to celebrate our lives together next month for my survival party! You are an amazing woman! Thank you!!!!!

One more thing before I go....

FUCK CANCER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
