My October posts are dedicated to one of my best friends Kelly L. Golliday. She fought a valient fight and remained the most positive and spiritual sister you could ever know. She inspired me and continues to be my Angel in Heaven! Rest well my sister💗

The month of Pinktober brings about many feelings. I celebrate the fact that I am two years and six months in remission. However, I’m still living day to day with the fear of cancer coming back and taking over my life again. I triumph with fellow Warriors when they ring that bell and end dreadful chemo treatments. However, I join my fellow Warriors in the everlasting struggle of side effects that change our quality of life. And then there is the pain. The pain of losing one of your best friends, the pain of watching those who were otherwise healthy, suffer, the pain of hugging those who have lost their love ones while you’re still here. Initially, Pinktober is a stark reminder of what many women are suffering through and what is to come for others. So forgive me if I’m not feeling so pink, with tutus and tiaras….I’ve just got to get through October 1st. I’m celebrating quietly today, in triumph and in pain…for all of my Warriors, we just need a moment, and then we’ll be pink again!!!
My cancer Wisdom to you: Be patient with survivors and those still in their treatment journey….this month is not all pink!
