Happy #wigfacewednesday!

July 4 marked one year since I completed my last chemo cycle.  In a strange coincidence, it marked my independence from something that felt so difficult – something I could finally say goodbye to and not rely on as my normal.  There are still moments when I think back and cannot believe I went through that.  I can also remember how excited I was to check that off my treatment list and to get back to drinking, sushi.. and oh!, not feeling like poop everyday.

Getting back to my daily routines and returning to work full-time from such a traumatic experience has been tough at times. Like anyone who has been through and still going through treatment, I still experience moments of sadness, overwhelming anxiety and doubt.  But I made a promise to myself to KEEP GOING, even on those dark and difficult days. It’s not always rainbows, puppies, and smiles… so I do my best to take advantage of my happy moments.
