I am working on a mind reset. I have realized that I have been so upset at the chemo and I have lost focus on the real culprit. CANCER!

I already forgot that if my Doctor wouldn’t have recommended a colonoscopy back in January, that I would be walking around, with my old life, but with cancer spreading all over my body. That instead of doing chemo and SAVING MY LIFE, I would be hugging my family and friends in a different manner, and in a few years I wouldn’t be here. 

Let’s do this. ROUND 7! 
Nikki commentary: I had the opportunity to experience the birth of my niece this last week.  My sister is a very private person, so I will spare the details (it took a lot of convincing to get in the room!!). But what I will share, is she didn’t use any drugs.  I know from experience, that childbirth is the most painful thing.  And she didn’t even have Tylenol. She overcame the pain and powered through with grace.  Amazing. 

So, I am taking this momentum and helping it with my mind reset. As I fight cancer. 

  
Logistical health update: I have my niece’s wedding and a girls’ trip to the beach the end of September. So, in an effort to be finished with treatment and to avoid delays in treatment, I am going to start moving up my start days.  Wish me luck!
