As I lay Living

Having had cancer twice I thought of naming this blog "As I lay dying" but then thought. Well that bitch is currently being quiet and letting me go out the business of living. So renamed the blog. I have stage IIIC Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, twice. That's breast cancer. I was diagnosed in 2010 at 29 years old. No genetic history, just bad luck. I'm currently NED (No Evidence of Disease) but in a waiting, or holding period while we wait to see what moves the cancer has left. 
Treatments have involved 12 rounds of chemo, long term HER2 treatments, chemo and radiation.
That said I feel pretty good. I currently and gratefully have the ability to do the things I enjoy. So I renamed the blog and am trying to figure out every day how to live my best life with whatever time I've got left.
I enjoy walking my fuzzy dog, hanging out with my adorable husband, cooking, camping, hiking and travel. I live near the rocky mountains in Canada and this makes me very very happy.
