UPDATE!!! STAGE 4=3 YEARS LATER=STILL KICKIN CHICKEN!
Hi Everyone!
Last time on this site was May 2017. Just a quick update to let all my fellow fighters know I am still fighting and use to my new normal. I have been on Herceptin, Perjeta, and Zometa for 3 years, every 21 days. I am stronger in my walk with God than ever before! I am thankful for stage 4 cancer!!!! It shook me to my core. Won my SOUL back and has completed a very long, sad, hard, chapter in my life. I am flipping pages so fast now with new outlooks, new eyes, new colors, new love, new EVERYTHING! I would have never LEPT to this level in my journey without hitting the rock solid bottom. I give all my thanks to my family, my community, my church, my animals, and most of all OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, MOTHER MARY, and GOD! Take your lessons and keep on moving down the road! This is just a moment in a very long FUN, exciting journey, to learn, grow, evolve, and MOVE FORWARD. I would encourage you to seek GOD...that is why I am here. I asked to stay, I was on my way out, I am certain. I gave it to HIM, all of it. I said your my Daddy take over, and BOY did He. He put people in my life to guide me and strengthen me, He took people out of my life that were holding me back, some I fought for a few but then remembered He is my Father, He has this....and He does and always will. I know with every part of my being that I was created and built in His image. I love harder, stronger, fiercer than I ever imagined...it is different than before. It is FULL, with knowledge and power in my choice to LOVE fully without FEAR without hesitation. God has your back, He always has, let Him in the driver's seat I promise you you will not regret it. NOW remember it won't be easy. But it will be the best damn ride you have ever been on. Don't let the devil fool you, this is going to have some scary moments, but there just moments, you will get through it. PRAY PRAY AND PRAY. Ask for Mother Mary's help, SHE WILL SHOW UP! She will help you! Ask and YOU WILL RECEIVE! You are blessed to be given this oppurtunity to grow and bloom with your diagnosis that is ONLY a diagnosis. GOD is bigger than all of it and He LOVES YOU! Beleive it or not at the end of your hard work it will all be worth it...GIVE IT TO GOD. #GODROX Sending out BIG LOVE to everyone that is fighting the fight and flipping the pages to THEIR book of life with a SMILE, LOVE, GRATITUDE, FAITH, AND MOST OF ALL HUMILITY!!! I LOVE YOU ALL! BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL! Catholic since birth and Catholic for ETERNITY! WOOO HOOOOO!!!! #FIGHTLIKEMARY
You can check me out on my Facebook page "Saving the SOUL Not the Life" I am reading the Bible! I was so scared I was going to kick the bucket and have to meet God and He would ask me if I read His book lol! So I am on day 293 of reading the Bible so if I get called home I can tell God I read His book AND a bunch of romance novels too! lol! I was going to be so embarrassed and ashamed if I had to go before Him without saying I read His book...
GOD SPEED

wow!
Such a gorgeous lady!
Where do you even begin telling people you’re stage 4?
I think the mind boggling thing is just that;people just look at you like you’re crazy cause you don’t look sick. Ignorance right
Keep on keeping on and God Bless you🌻🌻🌻
