A Cancer Survivor & Fighter's Blog
I hope everyone had a great Halloween. I know we did. Here’s a picture of our family right before Trick or Treating.

Daniel wasn’t fussy at all and Ethan did pretty well even though he was terminally shy. He would walk up to the doors with his Uncle and I, not say a word, but as soon as the door would shut then he would say “Happy Halloween, Trick or Treat, thank you!”.
Tomorrow starts my low iodine diet. I couldn’t be any less excited. Basically everything normal people like to eat is off limits for the next 2-3 weeks in the hope of getting my iodine level down. Ah well. If it means I can finally get my iodine treatment done I am all for it.
Have a great start to your November!
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!
