I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in June of 2007. I did 6 months of chemotherapy and 2 1/2 weeks of radiation. At which point I was cancer free!!!! In November of 2010 I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. After several months of blood transfusions and extreme chemotherapy sessions I was placed on a list to recieve a Bone Marrow Transplant. March 31st, 2011, I received the gift of life from a wonderful anonymous woman that I hope to meet one day!!

September 2010
I can't believe that I have let my blog go for so long. I've decided that I am going to start blogging again. I'll start with an update of the last 2 years or so.
Update:
I'm now 33 years old and still cancer free. My last check up was about 6 months ago. We are still living in Manteca. Taylor is now in the 8th grade and she is still involved in band. She is getting really excited about becoming a freshman next year. Hailey is in the 4th grade and she joined choir this year. Josh is now working at Red Robin as a bartender / server, and I am now working full time at JCPenney. I am the jcp.com/catalog supervisor.
Since I won my fight with cancer I have been fighting my battle with obesity. When I was going through my chemotherapy the doctor had me on steroids, so needless to say I put on a lot of weight. But the good news is I have taken off 60 pounds and I am working on the last 60 pounds. I was doing really well for a while and then after my promotion at work, I started working full time hours and not going to the gym or eating like I should. I think the fact that I just had another birthday has made me realize life is moving forward and its not waiting for me to loose weight. So I better loose weight so I can move forward with my life. I want to be there for my children and their children. (Which better be many many years from now, lol) Life is too short to just sit back and watch it fly by.
I'm going to blog more. I don't promise that it will be everyday, but I will make more of an effort to keep up on it. Not every two years lol.
