I wanted to start a separate blog for the thoughts that are racing through my brain all the time nowadays. I felt it would help me if I were to let some of them out of my head. This blog will be a work in progress and never predictable.
I did not want to take away from the happy blog, because that blog is full of smiles and laughter and this one may be a little different.
I have been here before, twice!!! I thought I was done, funny how you think that you are so in control. I can control many things, but not this. I assumed because I had an amazing family that everything would be perfect. HA HA Leigh not so much.
My story really started when I was 18 diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease, then at 29 I was told I had a radiation induced angiosarcoma in my breast. That diagnosis led to a mastectomy and 4 months of chemo. Now here I am, 33 and facing the angiosarcoma again, and this time we think it has made a sweet home in my bones. Just what I wanted to hear.
It seems odd to me that I always seem to be told these things around the holidays.
I do realize that life has a funny mind of its own. When you think you have it all figured out, bam take that!! My heart hurts so much, but I have no choice in this matter and I have to fight!!! My determination comes from my kids, they light up my life and keep me sane.
When I feel down I just look at those sweet innocent faces and realize that they need their momma to be strong.

Hi Leigh,
It's Beth, Andrea's mom. I just read your comments and wanted to say that they really made an imprint on my heart. I say my prayers every night and you and your family are always a part of my prayers.
Hang in there, and keep up the fight!
Love you,
Beth
Leigh,
You are amazing...inside and out. Your children are sooo lucky to have such a fantastic mom, and I'm sure you feel you're lucky to have them too. You're always in my prayers and pop in my thoughts all the time too.
Love,
Andrea
Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you and pray for you often. Take care of yourself and those sweet babies.
I'm praying for you, Leigh. I check your blog often and I'm glad you've started this one as a way to get your thoughts 'out of your head'. Your children are beautiful and will continue to carry you through these hard times. NOBODY should have to go through cancer even once, but three times is insane. You are (obviously) a fighter...keep fighting hard!
Love,
Amy Maze
