Last year as I finished chemo treatment one of the strangest feelings is; you just finished and you are standing in the parking lot and thinking now what.
You are not cancer free what do you do next? Know one really knows at this point, I found it ever strange a kind of limbo. You are weak and your brain is sort of scrambled by chemicals "what do you do".
Well I knew I wanted to get stronger, I had tried to do that during treatment and totally did it before surgery but now I had to start over. I know I have mentioned this before but couldn't find many places willing to accept me, so I have decided to try and fix that.
I have started on a new goal, I want to put cancer survivors in the pool as a means to get stronger. What does that mean; well I have spent the last couple of months in several courses in which I am becoming a certified AquaFit instructor with a special focus on survivors. All my instructors have been super supportive and my medical team are a 100% on board too. They are even going to refer patients - how cool is that.
Next week is the big exam weekend and practical testing. While I still wait on more surgery I WILL not put my life on hold and I WILL not let cancer win.
So wish me luck next weekend and fingers crossed I will have classes set up by summer for new survivors to get stronger!
Yes I will keep you posted MUCH LOVE to you all.xoxoxo

Great Way to End the Year
2014 I had the honour of speaking on behalf of the Alberta Cancer Foundation. As a cancer survivor and a rider in the "Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer" and had several opportunities to speak. This was amazing.
Here is the video clip from the last event, last week of the year and the best way to end the year.
A very special thanks for the Alberta Cancer Foundation for giving me this - it is truly amazing to be 1 of the voices with cancer.
