Reflecting on 2007:
I made it thorough having part of my liver removed.
I made it through 28 radiation treatments.
I made it through taking chemo therapy orally 21 days every month (still doing).
I made it through 4 cat scans, 1 pet scan, EKG;s, Echocardiograms and many, many blood tests and Dr. appointments.
I made it through 2007’s beautiful Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter, enjoying the changes of each season.
I made it through my son’s (Amanda) wedding shower and wedding.
I made it through lupus without any complications.
I am thankful that I am still alive.
I am thankful for being able to see and visit with many of my distant cousins.
I am thankful for all the wonderful memories of our families Sunday breakfast’s.
I am thankful for my loving, kind Bill who has done everything in his power to make me happy and safe.
I am thankful that Bill was by my side all year as well as my son’s, Amanda, my friends and sister Carol.
I am thankful for my many wonderful friends.
I am thankful for all of Sonny’s wonderful dinners.
I am thankful knowing that all year if I needed anything, all I had to do was pick up the phone, with a very long list of friends and family that were always right here for me.
I am thankful for my sister Carol who took me to many Dr’ appointments that were difficult for her.
I am thankful that we got to see our Goddaughter and her daughter whom we love very much.
I am thankful for my ChemoAngel Peggy.
I am thankful that Peggy is who she is, a stranger that has become my very dear friend, for her kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity in man kind.
I am thankful to my ChemoAngel Lauren who is also a very thoughtful person that has come into my life in 2007.
I am thankful for God who I can talk to 24/7.
I love my life even though I am battling cancer.
I loved life in 2007 even though.
I pray 2008 will bring happiness to all my family, friends and friends to be.
I pray I live a long time with all the joy and happiness that it brings to me.
I pray I can stay healthy and not be a burden on anyone ever.
I pray everyone is healthy and happy.
Happy 2008 everyone!

This list really hits home on what is really important in life…well said, and beautiful, Sue. May 2008 bring you many more blessings and healing.
Absolutely amazing what you went through this past year and survived. What a wonderful family you have.
I know that you will continue your fight in 2008 supported by that wonderful family.
Sue, this is my chemo schedule.
Week 1 of cycle – Taxol & Avastin
Week 2 of cycle – Taxol
Week 3 of cycle – Taxol & Avastin
Week 4 of cycle – no chemo
I receive the chemo in IV form 1 time per week at the medical center in the chemotherapy center. Currently, I am on a Monday cycle.
After my week off the cycle begins again.
While Taxol is a standard chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer, Avastin is not. I am in a clinical trial for Avastin and breast cancer.
If you have any other questions, please let me know.
Way to go Sue! You have so much to be thankful for…so many blessings in your life. You are truly rich. Huge hug…Grace
Well said. We should all concentrate on what we are thankful for.

Although you have been through all of this, your light is still glowing brighter than ever. Soft hugs are being sent your way. I hope this year of 2008 will be the year you find yourself standing in the middle of remission for both the cancer and that of Old Brother Wolf. The Wolf has a strong hold on me and won’t let go. Glad I am not battling something else with him. You are so sweet and kind and always doing for others. Take care of yourself. Bekind to yourself. The do a random act of kindness for someone.
To Sue and ALL of you who commented on Sue’s beautiful spirit and inner light. Sue, you have inspired us all. I immediately began to think of my list…what I survived, and what I am thankful for. I needed a mental boost, and you provided it. Shine On gentle spirit! Gaile
You are an amazing person. You are loving, kind, warm hearted, strong in so many ways that we aren’t even aware of, and you have an awesome soul. I am so honored to have you in my life. I pray for you every day. Prayer is a powerful tool. I pray that 2008 will be the year that you beat the cancer. I love you and many blessings to you! Vikki
