a couple of days ago, my mom and i went to relay. it was kinda sad cuz some people looked real sick or people wore "in memory of" shirts, but it was happy too cuz there were so many survivors. even tho i'm still fighting, i wore the survivor tshirt, and my mom the caregiver shirt, cuz im still alive. mom's been good to me lately, and the day was nice, tho i did get tired in the heat, so mom went to find me a wheelchair so i could keep going. i felt embarrassed, 19 in a chair, but no one cared. heck, they were probably proud of me. and i feel more hopeful about my diagnosis. like things may just turn out right. well, i'm headed back to the hospital today, had a week long leave, but it's time for more treatments. even tho i hate them, they are good for me, so i'll take it like a man. haha.

Great job on the relay! I did it, too. I wrote my Mom's name on a sign and taped it to my husband's back. (she died in '97 from breast cancer). And even though we're not completely finished with this shit, we are still SURVIVORS. Look at all the crap we've already endured.. and SURVIVED!! Great job, keep up the good work and positive attitude!!
