Love the unlovable and forgive the unforgivable!

Profile Information

About Me:: I was dx of ovarian c stage III at 28, treated with surgery and chemo. That was in1989 and never came back. But in2005 I got dx of lung c stage IV (mets to liver, bone, brain, lymph nodes). I am still in treatment (radiation, chemo) and I still feel that I am bigger that it. I am on dsability because all the medication and the cortisone is making me weak (only physically).
I am very lucky because I aam so strong, my husband loves me and spoils me to death, my two doggies are crazy for me... What else could I want?

Relationship Status:: Married

Favorite Quote:: Life isn't about how to survive the storm but how to dance in the rain.

Favorite Book:: El Palinuro de Mexico

What's your personal mission statement?: Just be happy.

I am having a good life. I grew up in a happy family, I am a world traveler, getting to live for a year and a half in a tropical island without electricity or current water, scubadiving, meeting amazing people from different parts of the world and learning so much from them, what an adventure! Now I enjoy fishing trips with hubby, taking pictures, painting, playing with my dogs, taking care of my plants, doing some crafty things and play on this forum. Once I get my energy back I'll be back to work, so we can afford more travelling!

Getting back in track...

The discovery of mets in my brain was really scary. I always had been the "rock" of the family, and that made me shake. I wanted to show that I could still be that rock, so I ignored the weakness that the steroids were giving me, until I fell out of control and I hit my moon face on the concrete, making it look even better with that big bruise around my nose and upper lip. The saddest part is that my hubby felt guilty because he wasn't there for me! I could't take it, it wasn't his fault!! All o… Continue

A learning experience

Being diagnosed of lung cancer is a very scary moment that I don't wish to the worse of my enemies (if I have any). It made me think Why me? It is unfair! What did I do to deserve this? This way I became a victim, a very inocent victim of this terrible and horrific disease that was making my life misserable, giving that cancer all the power to control me. I was feeling sad, angry, lonely, scared to death. One day, trying to nomb myself from those feelings watching TV, I started thinking that I w… Continue

Starting something new...

I was a blog-virgin until now. I have been my whole life a very good listener and everybody loved me for that. They just need to vent, they don't want the counselling or the solutions, because they already know them. They just need to rant. After a few minutes of venting, you can see them so much more relaxed... So, I decided that it is time for me to reverse the process. I'm not going to quit being a listener (I love it), but it is time for me to start venting, ranting, or just talking about my… Continue

You have inspired me. I started losing my hair today and your showing me how to dance in the rain. I was dx with fallopian tube cancel. That is not a typo - I saw someone else here write that and I thought it was brilliant! I had a hysterectomy in July and started chemo (taxol and carboplatin) two weeks ago... I will think of your words about the woman with 3 hairs as I make this transition - thanks a bunch!
Sending you good vibes for healing and successful recovery - you did it once -- you can do it again!
Hugs,
Bon

I read your "about me", was wondering what places you would like to visit/travel to? I always wanted to go to Italy, i'm thinking of putting it on a vision board...... who knows... If things get better.... Your friend Caroline

At 9:57pm on June 22, 2008, Jenni Renee said…: Wow you are truely an inspiration. I have always wanted to travel which was partially why I had enlisted in the navy (other wise it was to pay for the rest of my schooling and I have a military family) but then I was diagnosed after a training accident. I still plan on traveling to the places I want to but right now I have to focus on treatments. I just wanted to say thank you for commenting on my blog. You have inspired me to try something new. I will definately update about that later. :0) Keep Smiling!
