Good Friends

I haven't posted in such a long time.
For a while I was so scared about the possibility of bad news from the doctor; I felt too vulnerable. Then the relief of good news revived me, but left me perplexed about the strong doubts or fear I had been battling.
I was also incredibly busy with lots of extra tasks at work and the kiddos have taken on some new sports. Pretty soon the week is gone and I hadn't blogged. Then another week, and another.
Tonight I had dinner with a friend I haven't seen in a decade. I met his wife and sister-in-law. It was really fun to catch up and hear about the amazing places he's been. I've also seen thoughtful posts from him about his wife on fb, it was cool to meet her - she's so easy to like.
Imagine, after 10 years and moving 1,500 miles I am having dinner with a friend I went to Sunday school with before I could walk.
Life is full of twists and turns, with a few sweet surprises.
Tomorrow is treatment. I will have to wake up to a high dose of vitamins, flax seed, hemp seeds and optimism.
I wonder if a goal of being NED (no evidence of disease) in a year is reasonable. I will have to ask tomorrow when I visit with the Onc. Wonder what I can do to make that goal reality. I can't let myself be at the mercy of medicine and science, so I better make a plan.
