Hi. I had my surgery to remove my ovaries on August 23rd. I am recovering okay from that. It's a little emotional probably because my body is adjusting but also because sometimes I feel like I keep getting knocked down... I get up and get knocked down. Chemo, surgeries, more chemo...The moral of the story is I always get up. Even though I feel like Rocky beat half to death sometimes, I'll be damned that this is going to take me down.
I just keep going back to God for the answers and the drive.
I'll write more later.
Xoxo

Wait...I have five more minutes!
"Welcome to Amanda's five minutes. Thanks for spending this time with me as we go through a series of treatments and surgeries to kick the butt of Breast Cancer...why 5 minutes? I always need five more minutes to clarify a conversation, to make my point, to drive to an appointment, to grocery shop. I live in that 5 minutes close call on being almost too late but almost always on time! Now, every next five minutes is the survival of my life. This is about a transformation of priorities, a journey of God meeting me in the middle, laughing as I go, and learning how to relax and get well. I just got a knock at the door, guess what my response was...Five more minutes!"
Your courage and tenacity are inspiring to me, dear friend! I know you can do this. I know that a power greater than anything I can imagine is keeping you close and fueling your journey. Thank you so much for the updates. You are never far from my thoughts and always in my prayers.
