Hi!
Hope all is well with you! I had a CT scan this morning and it's ALL CLEAR!!! My next one is in November!
All is going well. Living my crazy normal life. Since I posted, I gained my 10lb lost and now I've started a new plan to lose 10-15lb again. :) This is a good thing prior to football season starting! Maybe, just maybe, I will stick to this new plan! Other than that, my son turned 10 years old this month and I got to bake his cake as I have done each year. I cried when I had the chance to do it again this year. It's the little things I appreciate.
For me, I have resumed a normal life. I have bouts of deep thoughts, emotional moments, but mostly I have a fun, loving life where I adore my friends and family and always look for the next event, festival, opportunity to cookout.
When I am uncertain or just not sure I can handle the stress or heaviness of the situation, I do one thing...I pray. God relieves me of my anxiety and fear. God takes care of me. He puts everything in perspective for me.
Love to you. Hope all is well in your world. And you are in good health!

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!"
Amanda, I am just now reading this, but am so happy to hear of the clear scan. I cried when I read that you cried while baking Jack's cake. Your faith is amazing and I'm so glad God gives you peace. God is good!
