Well have I mentioned I am 5 year survivor? Well now as of this minute I am 5 years and a day. Officially 24 hours ago I started on my journey of being not just a survivor but BUT CANCER FREE!! They dont like to use those words in the oncology world but oh how I am going enjoy saying it. I remember the day after I was diagnosed I sat on my front porch and cried to my dad. I said Im too young. Reese is just 4. Hes just a baby. He needs me!!! He knew just what to say to calm me down. I really believe God spoke through him that day. He told me he was at peace with it. He told me I was going to be just fine. I will be honest. At first I didnt believe him. I mean he was my dad. He wasnt going to tell me that I was going to die, right. But then he said Becca, you are going to have a rough road. But I know in my heart you are going to beat this and then look back in 5 years and smile. At this time I didnt know 5 was a such a magic number in the cancer world. So I reflect on that conversation today and I am amazed how our God works. I am smiling today. I am healthy. I have had bumpy road. Many set backs in 5 years but man what a testimony. I pray for those still fighting and those who are just beginning and those who dont even know they will have to fight. Because I am one of many who is living proof that there is HOPE. I was told not to dwell on this day and just move on like it was just another day but I feel this is a big deal. For the first time in 5 years I am celebrating my life. I can look back now and smile and take a deep breath. I AM ALIVE. Thats the first time since 2009 I have thought it, said it but most of all BELIEVED IT.
