This week has been a long one, but a good one. I had an MRI on Monday and a chest/arm CT yesterday. And praise God, praise God -- everything is clear, normal, no signs of anything! My doctors seem very pleased. This is obviously the best news we've received since last...
One of the most difficult things with having cancer was worrying about my husband and family. I think they have the hardest job. Yes, I was enduring surgery, and previously, radiation. But I had doctors, nurses, and others taking good care of me, and I really had no...
Scars. I don't think there are any of us who haven't dealt with scars one way or the other -- whether physical scars or emotional ones. Right now, I think I'm wrestling with both.I'm used to scars. I was in a motorcycle accident when I was 20 years old, and ended up...

Well, it's been awhile since I've posted on my blog. It's titled "Rebecca's Journey", but I'm certainly not sharing very much of my journey. Maybe I'm not meant to be a blogger. I'm too private. LOL :)God is certainly leading me down interesting paths right now. I...
