Clean Scans For Me...3 Years Cancer Free

I don't care what type of Cancer you have had, all cancers suck. The feeling you get in your gut when you hear your diagnosis is something no one should have to experience. 

There was a suspicious findings on my neck ultrasound a couple months ago and as I drove to the radiology department in New Haven I couldn't help but get a wave of nausea. Flash backs to driving to Yale for my surgery came back to me. I felt like I was suffocating. Please please let the scans be clear I prayed walking in. Today I went for a follow up scan of my lymph nodes and it's all clear. 

When I drove home I started to cry. The feeling of relief set over me. I couldn't imagine driving home thinking the Cancer came back. 

When I was diagnosed I was 6 months pregnant with my second child. The song "This Girl Is On Fire" was released. It was my song to fight the fight. I heard it driving home followed by "How Wonderful Life Is When You're In The World." 

Those fighting, stay strong through the fight. To the survivors I hope one day your brain forgets what you had to go through. Cancer is an enemy that won a lot of battles. Fortunately it hasn't won mine!
