A Cancer Survivor & Fighter's Blog
So I am very proud of myself today…I think we did 4 loads of laundry, 3 loads of dishes, lunch and dinner for ourselves and the boys, 1 shopping trip to Petco to get supplies for the classroom guinea pig, cleaned said guinea pig, shook out all the rugs, cleaned floors, folded laundry, put two little boys to bed, plus all sorts of various other miscellaneous things and it is only 9pm! I’ve always known just how much work my mom has been doing around the house but it really hit home today. It makes such a difference when both Todd and I are working full time.
I also did quite a bit of gardening today. I planted bulbs and mulched two more big sections along the fence line. I think we need to go to Costco one more time to buy bulbs. I’m hoping I can get some in on Friday when I am off again. I want the backyard to look as nice as it can before we leave.
My name is Kate Stowell. I’m a cancer survivor two times over! I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 1997 and diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer in 2009. Besides surviving cancer, I am a graduate of SUNY Geneseo (2004) and SUNY Binghamton (2006) and work as a registered nurse in a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. I have two wonderful children, a loving husband, and a sweet black lab. The purpose of this blog is to keep a record of all the ups and downs my growing family goes through both during treatment and everyday life. I welcome questions and comments. Welcome!
