...and I saw that my hair had grown out to shoulder length, where it was before I started chemo.
Two years ago I was as bald as a baby's backside.
I looked in the mirror tonight and saw a very brave and strong woman who did not think she was going to make it. I realized that sometimes we make despite our fears.
I remember feeling sick, weak, shaking, being bald, in pain. I can let go of that now.
I looked in the mirror tonight and marveled at my great good fortune at being alive, two years later. this week in my two year anniversary.
And I thought of all my sisters here on this board that helped me make it through.
God bless us all.
