One year anniversary

At the end of this month, it will be my one year cancer-free anniversary and I'm excited about it! We had one of Mark's former co-workers over for dinner, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer early this year and told that she would be dead by August. Well, this month she was told she was in remission! Anyway, she has decided to have an "I'm not dead yet" party. That got me thinking and I think Mark and I will have to do something fun to celebrate this mile marker. At times it's really hard to believe I was even sick, I feel SO much better these days! It has been quite a journey and I'm thankful for all of it. You can't really appreciate the good days until you have experienced some bad ones.

On the hair front, I'm sad to report that I'm losing my chemo curl. Back to having stick straight hair again, oh well, it was fun while it lasted. I'm finally at the process of figuring out what kind of style I want and I think I'm gonna stick with the Meg Ryan wig style. :) What I have learned from this whole experience is that in the past I spent WAY too much time on my hair and life is too short for that. I want something quick and simple! I unpacked my hot rollers and hair accessories today and it brought back a variety of emotions from the day I packed them up. I've learned that while wigs can be a lot of fun and provide a lot of variety, nothing quite compares to having my own hair.
