Friday the 13th I'm on top of the world today… What happens when you get an email from a national magazine that they want to run your story?!  A whole gamut of emotions… I got that notice today that I will be featured in December 2013 Shape magazine as a “Success Story” where they will highlight my body transformation after my many life’s challenges – dealing with my mother’s lung and breast cancer and ultimately death while dealing with my own ovarian related cancer issues (chemo, surgeries), weight gain and my road by to health.

And, this was the same day, I picked up my race packet for my SECOND half marathon. 

I’m stilling pinching myself.

Since 2004, I have dealt the ups and downs of ovarian cancer and the unknowns associated with the results of CT scans.  Naturally, I always wish for the all clear, but until the results are available, I wait, I pray and I worry.  Today, I got the best news anyone who has or has had cancer… the news of a full remission – cancer-free. 

For nearly 10 years, I have waited and prayed for this day. 

I now go to the 5-year plan for scans, but will continue to be watchful and in tuned with my body and its changes.
