Miracles

Miracles abound!

I am on a drug that when approved by the FDA, was working for about 10 infusions for people. I just finished 63 infusions on Alimta.

When diagnosed, I hoping to see my 50th birthday. Turned 53 this spring.

I remember walking the survivor lap in 2005 and wondering if I would be back. I circled that track again last weekend.

and now, I am about to welcome my grandson to the world.

Miracles abound.

hugs,

another Survivor lap

Relay for Life is tonight. I will walk another survivor lap.
I will walk it with mixed emotions. I am so angry that this is part of my life. I hate it so much.
But, it is my reality. So...

Another SURVIVOR lap! I am STILL HERE!! Let's CELEBRATE that!

hugs,
chris
(Come join me on the track tonight...6'ish)
