The countdown is on, and I’m officially preparing to Kick Cancer’s Ass tomorrow morning. Game on! All that’s left is to pack and tidy up. I’ve decided the rest will take care of itself. There comes a point you realize things will always need to be and could be done, but in the big scheme…those things won’t amount to much and getting some sleep and preserving some fighting energy for what will be a 6-7 hour surgery deems a bit more important at the moment. I have spent the past five weeks drawing on the strength of each of you – each post, letter, card, email and phone call. You have embraced me, you have lifted me up, you have given me cause to earn another victory, not just for myself, but for those whose footsteps I follow in and for those who will follow in mine. With each inspiring story and every positive thought I say, “Thank you.” You take my breath away, and I am enriched and eternally grateful.
This fight won’t be over tomorrow, but we are well on our way to a success story. Look for updates as I will have my “ghost writers” keeping you posted. In the meantime, pat yourselves on the back for your kindness and compassion. Rest assured, I will pay it forward.
Janet is having bi-lateral mastectomy surgery on Monday, March 1, 2010.
Janet… you are amazing. You are serving as such an inspiration for so many people… thank you for being so positive about this! I have total faith in you and your ability to Kick Cancer’s Ass! Kick some ass tomorrow! <3
Go! Fight! Win! (Bet you didn’t know I used to be a cheerleader.) Got my sources in the waiting room to keep me updated. Sending you strong positive thoughts from Alan and me. Love!
