Where to begin !! I would first like to start by saying I am just a mom with 2 kids that have had cancer and I have recently had to battle it myself.. I wanted to share my past journey as well as my future plan. I am not a blogger and I have never taken the time to express my own thoughts like this before.
But here I go, my past journey started in the first half of 2007. My daughter Rachel who was 12 years old at the time had been ill. Test after test and doctor appointment after doctors appointment only to find out she had Hodgkin's Lymphoma. As my blog continues I will go into deeper details as to how we discovered it and why.
Zip ahead 5 years to 2012 my daughter is just found to be 5 years clean of this terrible disease and my son Nathan was diagnosed with Brain Cancer he was 13 years old. As my blog continues I will go into deeper details as how we discovered his and why.
Then guess what like clockwork fast forward 5 years and poof February of 2017 I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer, I had been diagnosed with a Hypothyroidism and had been put on medicine right before my son was diagnosed but the stress in my life made my thyroid go haywire.. More to come..
Now I am sure as you read this you are going what the HECK!! That is what I thought at the beginning of this year, 2017. Hadn't I suffered enough as a mother and now here I am my own battle.. This past year has lead me on a path of self discovery, anxiety, and every emotion you can think of. But, I am here to share my story of love, hope and positive attitude. I also want to share my journey day by day as I continue to try to restore my own health. I hope you follow along!
I will be back tomorrow...JoEllen
