Today I turned 29. Not only am I grateful to still be here but to have such amazing support. I had more birthday wishes than I have ever had in my whole life! It is overwhelming to know that so many people care about me and my journey. Today I sat down to write down my goals for the next few years and one of the biggest goal is to see 30 and I firmly believe that will happen now. I feel overwhelmed by all of the information that Mark has given me over the last few weeks and the weight of getting better being on my own shoulders. Mark believes that Cancer is manifested not luck, chance or genetics and the more I learn the more sense that makes. However that does not make it easier to heal from or “fix” I am doing as much as I can handle to work on the issues that cause me to manifest my cancer. I know that my health is in my own hands and can only pray and hope that I can get there. There are days when it seems like “too much” however I keep plugging along. I learned today that Thyroid stuff comes from “feeling powerless” that makes perfect sense to me because of where I am but we’ll see where that goes.

I am thankful to all of you who have donated in my honor and those who also dropped by to wish me a happy birthday.

Also on a good note, Marika’s liver enzymes have normalized since her visit to Mark and she is headed to a clinical trail interview at the end of this week. Thanks to everyone who has had her in their prayers. She is a fighter and I believe she can win this fight as well.
