      From Fashincat September 23

      Thank you so much for your kind words and support. I think I'm just starting to accept the fact that I had cancer. I know that little f*cker is out of me and the chemo is a 'back up' so I really wouldn't say that I have IT or had IT. Now that the chemo is starting to affect my positive spirit I'm starting to accept everything that has and is happening. I will take this acceptance with grace even though I've been going though this for 4.5 months...Only 2.5 more to go along with a lifetime of change--but for the better. How are you?
