Today is one year since my last radiation treatment and still a little emotional. Not quite as bad as June 10, 2009 but still somewhat. I woke up and I thought no one in my house even realized what day it was…..Then I was sitting at work and a guy came in with the most beautiful vase of flowers. Roses, gerber daisies, regular daisies and babies breath. I read the card and it said “One year down and a Life time to Go!” Love Joe (my husband) I started to cry. He has never sent me flowers in the 5 1/2 years that I have been with him. He has given me flowers but never sent them.
I am doing pretty well physically. I still get a little tired but it is the mental thing that is so tough to deal with. Anyway, I wanted to share with all my BFAC friends what my husband did for me. I hope you all are doing well. I think about all of you all the time.
hugs
Nancy
Hi Nancy—
Congratulations on your one year anniversary! Woohoo! I’m so happy for you and am glad that your husband did such a nice thing by sending you flowers and realizing what a milestone this is for you. What a guy! These anniversaries do merit celebration and I hope you will do just that. I understand the emotions that go along with it—realizing that life has been changed forever can be difficult at times. But you are here, you are doing well, you are the same sweet person you were before, and you are loved! Life is an ongoing series of adjustments and I think you have come through this with flying colors! Now, you and Joe have a special weekend and celebrate! Hugs and lots of love to you on your special day!

Posted on Ah, honey, I’m so happy for you. One year seems so far away from where I am. I’m so happy for you to be past this milestone. Your hubby sounds like a wonderful person. That’s very special of him to remember such an important date.
Cheers,
Theresa

Posted on Dear Nancy,
That is SOOOO great! We all deserve some recognition for such a milestone. As you know thi sis so fresh in our minds. Yes we try to not make it our stroy but it is part of who we are and we are changed forever. I think it is very special that your husband gets this! You are very special and such a great supporter for all of us.
Thanks for being there for me and I am happy you are celebrating another day! Blessings! Lori

Posted on Oh Nancy – congratulations and how very lovely that your husband made such a sweet gesture in recognising this important anniversary. I filled up with tears as I read your post just knowing how moved you would have been : )
I wish you many more years of sweet recovery and happy family, love janet
Posted on Congrats on all going well. My partner and I have a saying, “if it was all the time it wouldn’t be special”, kudos to Joe for sending the flowers and making you feel special…because you are…and oh Daryl, BTW I have the super special gay version right here living with me….sorry. Believe me, I know how lucky I am he is my miracle!
Posted on Wow, that is fantastic! How sweet. You are very lucky. I hope that it will get easier with each year that goes by. I am still so freaked out about every little pain or cough. And the follow up appointments, ugh! Just please keep giving me good news.
Posted on I am so glad you got FLOWERS!... .that is so wonderful… how sweet… and yes it isn’t easy even one year after…. we’ll always be going through wondering from now on I suppose… every four months.. .. I loved what your husband said to you.. one year down a life time to go! how thoughtful.. how perfect to say that… and how wonderful it was for you to be surprised… I am so happy for you… were holding hands as we walk down this path … and I will always continue to watch for your postings given the close proximity of our treatments, anniversary..etc…. I am so happy for you! Big hug, Frank
Posted on Thank you for your post and honest. I apologize for disappearing but I guess I don’t always want to be thinking about cancer, which I didn’t for a few months there.. until my surgeon said she had some concern and for that week I had to wait with that ambiguous information. . . I realized I can never leave this space fully until I pass on. . . which could be ten twenty or even more years then that from today. . . There are too many stores here and people for whom I care that I have to come back and learn and listen and discovery empathy. I am so very happy for you and for everyone who gets great news here and I hope that someday rooms like this disappear when we a cure is found! Thank you for helping cure me! .. I will stay in touch more often…. best wishes for a wonderful solstice! big hug and hello again.. Frank
How wonderful – what a nice thing to look forward to. Congratulations. Can’t wait to be there myself.
Thank you for your anniversary post, it is illuminating to look ahead 358 days and think about my own anniversary! I am so happy to have found this site.
Bon courage to all of you!

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Easter! I am so happy that I am here to enjoy this Easter. Last year at this time I was awaiting treatments to start. I remember some of it which isn’t very good but most of it I don’t remember. I usually have everyone in my family and my husband family over for dinner. Needless to say last year I could not cook due to being in sooooo much pain. I am very thankful this year it is not that way. My daughter is cooking tomorrow but it is at my house….haha I wonder how much of it I will end up doing???? I don’t care though, I am just happy to be alive and feeling better so that I can enjoy every minute. I love Holidays because family is always together….nothing better than that! I wish all of you my virtual family the Happiest Easter ever! I hope all of you have a wonderful day and continue to have wonderful days ever after…..Love to you all…..
Nancy
Happy Easter to you too, Nancy! I hope you have a wonderful day with your family and enjoy those grandbabies!
Love—
