Am I Dreaming?!
Is it possible to be lost for words? Is it common to feel like you are in a dream? Is it typical to second guess? These things and so many more are running through my head. It's crazy but it's like the polar opposite when I was first diagnosed with cancer. It took me weeks, maybe even months before I could say out loud "I have cancer". Now I sit next to Greg on our drive home having the most difficult time reaching out to anyone or just writing this journal entry. Well, I got to at least write it . . . Right? Okay, here it goes . . . I am in complete remission! I am fucking cancer free today! I got shit done and kicked cancer's ass! Cancer 0 - BLG 1! There is no more poison in Mommy's body!
Damn, does that feel good!
No more chemo, no need for radiation, no pills - just finishing healing from my mastectomy and then reconstruction.
Have I said lately how good life is? This was a long unexpected battle, but I am absolutely confident that I have come out on top a better human being. I would not have changed a thing, but I am so grateful to be moving on to the next stage of my life story.
Phone is going to die, so I must make this quick. However, I am positive I will have more to say later!

So awesome sis. God is good. I wish I could be there to hug the stuffing out of you. My heart is singing, finally songs of happiness. You never deserved cancer, no one does. I had a very hard time with it, after all you'd just gone thru. I found myself questioning God and my faith........Why??????????? I kept my faith and prayed continously. Now here you are. Blessed, in every way. I know God heard. He heard ALL of us. We've grown-up to be troopers, to fight the fight. Good or bad, whether we win or lose. You are my inspiration, BLG. My sissy. I love you more than words. Muah. Love Sissy
YES!!!! I knew you would do it, but so thrilled to get confirmation! SOOO happy for you. Go enjoy life and your amazing family...my thoughts will always be with you!
Gotta love a happy ending!!!!
Soooo....I spent this rainy Sunday morning sipping coffee and reading your blog. Holy moly---I had no idea and feel terrible to have not been in your cheering section these last six months. I knew from working with you how AMAZING you are, as a business woman and mom, but now you've added cancer survivor to that list. And your family--your beautiful, strong, supportive, loving family. What a tribe you have. Your combined courage and focus and patience and Can Do attitude (even on days where that did not seem possible)...well, I am simply in awe and inspired. You, Bobbie, are a warrior and a champion. I am so thrilled to hear you are cancer free. And I love how you owned the Big C, you and the amazing team, schooled it! Will be praying for you all as you move on to this next chapter...ever onward!
Words alone cannot express.....angels all around you my dear! Every time I read your posts it reminds me of this Quote: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou
this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) I'm so happy for you ...I still can't believe how positive you were through this journey. I know it's a bit selfish but I can't wait to have you back here! :) you are missed.
