So good news, I am officially in remission. Its not something I ever thought I would be saying, even when I was on treatment… not that I didn’t think I was going to get rid of the cancer, more that I never thought it would end! But it finally has. I guess you could say I am (in) the light at the end of the tunnel so to speak.
I was thinking about the word remission and its kind of weird if you break it down because ‘re’ generally means again. Like readdress or reevaluate. To do something again, alternatively. And ‘mission’ is like a journey or goal. So if you think about it, remission kind of means a new, alternative, second chance at a journey or goal – in this case, life… I don’t really know if thats where it came from, but I guess you could say thats how I relate to it 🙂
And I will take it. I am ending one journey and beginning another. Very happy to be where I am. I could not have done it without all of the incredible support I got from all of my family and friends! I owe you all so much! Too bad I can’t clone Lola and send her out as thank you gifts… haha just kidding. But really thank you all so much, everyone did their part in their own unique way. I think this might be my last post, thank you all for reading my little online journal and keeping track of me throughout this life-changing experience.
