Stop Playing with Fire!

It's been a while since I've been on here.  I've been quietly getting my life back together. All the chemo and radiation treatments are complete. One more surgery and my body can really start to heal.  I'm taking a drug call Tamoxifen.  I don't want to but I know it will help in my survival.  To be honest, I've been half way taking the pill. I'm suppose to take it every night for the next 5 years.  Well, I went almost a week without taking it and all hell broke out.  I hadn't seen Mary in almost a year and but she showed up and showed off. OMG (Ladies you know what I'm talking about::-) )  It was crazy so I decided to read up on the Tamoxifen.  It stated that if I stopped the drug, that would happen. Man, I popped that pill so fast. lol Terrible reason to do what I'm suppose to do but I'm just being honest.  I don't think I've been taking this survival thing serious enough. I stopped eating right, half way exercising, not resting, etc.  I've been acting like I don't have to fight a beast that wants to still my joy. 

I got a wake up call today.  A good friend who is a survivor, is facing another battle. I forgot that Breast Cancer can mestastasize in other areas of your body.  She's facing that fear and thats my wake up call.  This is the same woman who walked me through my process and wiped my tears when I cried.  She allowed me show her my fears and it was ok with her because she knew the battle I was facing.  I'm praying up for her and I know that God has her back.  I'm going to get on the right track because I never want to fight another fight like that.  I urge all of my followers to adjust your lifestyle.  Build your wall!
