A Very Special Anniversary
Hello friends, today I am celebrating a very special anniversary. Seventeen years of life since my chronic blood cancer diagnosis. I have PV aka Polycythemia Vera, it is one of a related group of chronic blood cancers known as Myeloproliferative Neoplasm. Cancer cells are also present in my bone marrow. Unfortunately it can’t be cured, but there’s always hope for the future, right? I am grateful that it can be treated and managed.
Please join me as I do a happy dance and celebrate the time God gives me. Our bodies are fragile and He continues to strengthen me. I am truly blessed.
I am grateful for all of the love and support I receive from my hubby and my family. Getting me to the oncologist, taking me to treatments, etc. Sometimes it is very difficult, but you all make it easier for me. I love you all so much. To learn more about my blood cancer please click HERE.
Merciful God, thank you for giving me love, strength, courage and time on this earth. I continue to see life the way it is intended, beautiful and full of possibilities. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
You still have plenty of time to add your blog posts to the TFT blog hop HERE. Please share our party with your bloggy friends too. The more the merrier ( smile).

The one makeup item I can’t do without is mascara.
I loved the gold and crystal Sun catcher on Catherine’s Angels sute, but truly, I loved everything. My mom used to collect angel things. It reminds me if her.
I like the “just breathe” beads at Zen Mala; I have asthma and anxiety, and I feel that would probably be the one I would choise.
I love the gold heart necklace! It is so very beautiful!
SO much love to you Katherine! I’m inspired by your courage and dedication. Take care and thank you for sharing your heart and your life with us!
Beverly, thank you so much for your support and friendship. hugs!
