A Cancer Survivor & Fighter's Blog
I bought myself three beautiful “worry” stones from One World Goods years ago when I was still living in Rochester and undergoing treatment for lymphoma. All three are gray river rocks and one says peace, one says hope, and one says strength.
Right now they are sitting on my desk next to my computer. The “Strength” rock reminds me that I stronger than my cancer, the “Peace” rock reminds me to let all my small worries go, and the “Hope” rock that it is never too late to hope for a long and healthy life with my family.
I am so grateful for everything that I have.
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!
