One year and counting...

A year ago today I was officially given the diagnosis of Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer.  What a difference a year can make...  After 6 treatments of chemotherapy and major abdominal surgery I am still alive and feel great!  It seems kind of surreal at times to think what I have gone through during this past year - and starting almost a month before this with multiple tests and scans to come to the official diagnosis.  It's been weird going through things right now that a year ago I had such a different outlook on - Stake Conference, General Conference, Sounds of the Season Christmas concert (which I will be playing the flute & piccolo in again this year - yea!), Halloween, soccer season...  Even though I don't think my energy level is quite back up to normal, I feel so much better all the way around than I did a year ago.  Things right now are looking good and I hope & pray that in another year from now I can say the same thing!!  Thanks for all of the support and prayers from everyone!!
