As the week unfolds I will be heading to New York City for my lovely PET/CT Scan. It's hard to believe it's been three months since I was declared cancer free, time certainly does fly when you are healthy.
We obviously hope that remission continues, if it does not though -- we do have a plan of attack as always. This week, I hold some of Kirsten's poetic words, close to my heart as I head in for testing and am hopeful for good results.
Kirsten's words:
I am
I am writing to you now from this place of strength. From this place of heart-thumping, heart-held tenacity. I am writing to you now to remind you of the spirit that lives and breathes, rises and falls, deep within and beyond these walls of the body. That lives out there, amongst the woodland owls, the ancient oaks, the cherry blossom petals that dance as if ballerinas poised in a slow curtsy to the ground. I am writing to you now so, should you need me in the future, at a time when struggle overtakes you, to say this: You are the owls, the oak, the cherry blossoms. You always were and you always will be, no matter the body that holds you now.
Sending love and light,
B

Beks,
Your blog is amazing--you are such a light in the world.
I'm so sorry to hear about Kirsten--her words to you were heartbreaking and beautiful. It feels cruel that some of the most extraordinary people are taken too early from this world. But her spirit will live on in those whose lives she touched even briefly.
I'm so glad you're doing well! How long will you be in NYC? Would love to meet up with you if only to say hi in real time. Call or text me 917-359-9363.
Sending love and much more.
Kim
We will be cheering, praying, and hoping for another negative PET scan!!
I just read your last post about the trial. As much as I just want to sit back and enjoy MIkes' first remission in 7+ years, I probably need to start the paperwork process. It's awesome that they have protocols for patients in remission and those with active disease.
Good luck this week!!
Hey Bek,
One word - NED!
Thinking of you, as usual.
Love Jacinta
Praying for good results on your scan. Thanks for sharing those inspirational words from someone who must have been an amazing person.
