Chemo: Round 12!!!

Hey y’all!!! I realized I never came on here and finished my last post. But I am officially done with chemo and in remission!!! There was so much joy on my final day of chemo. I was surrounded by the people I love and who have helped me get through this journey.

This has been the hardest past six months of my life and there were so many days that I thought I couldn’t do it anymore. It is by the grace of God that I am healed and this chapter is finished.

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me" Psalm 23:4

"I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever" Psalm 86:12

I truly learned during this journey how to rely on God’s strength when I didn’t have any myself. He comforted me through the scariest time of my life. He gave me a new perspective on life and the true gift each day is. I will forever praise His name for how he saved me physically, mentally, and spiritually. Cancer is a fight that not everyone can say they won, and I credit the win all to the Lord himself.

Though my life is different since being back at college. With trying to get back in the swing of swimming again and going to class, along with my hair still growing back, it is difficult because I still grieve the past me. It is hard comparing myself to what I used to do and what I used to look like. However, each day I’m becoming prouder of the woman I see in the mirror, even though she is different than she was before. She is stronger, more resilient, and firmer in her faith than she has ever been.

Thank you to everyone who was there for me throughout this chapter of my life. I’m so grateful for all the love, support, and prayers I recieved.

No matter what life throws at you, THERE IS ALWAYS A REASON TO SMILE!!! 😊
