Faith of the Heart

Its almost April 2 and April 2 marks a special day for me. This year it marks my second year cancer free. And according to my oncologist, the amazing Dr. Adam Crystal, its a year to celebrate because the chances of my cancer coming back now are so slim its just about gone.  It was 2 years, 8 months ago that I sat in the car and told Scott that my theme song would be Faith of the Heart by Rod Stewart (a few weeks before that I  named my tumor Melvin, but he's long gone now).  I listened to that song a lot, especially on those long boring days and nights in the hospital during chemo.  I felt a strength come from the song, and I just knew that one day I'd be healthy, and would be able to look back and see what a long road its been.  And although I have 3 more years before I hit "cured" I can breath a little more now, because instead of a check up every 3 months, I get to go every 6 months. At the 5 year mark I'll switch to 1 year scans for the remainder of my life, a small price to pay for my life. But for now I'll enjoy my life one day at a time, and continue to try to make the most out of every little moment that I can. 

It's been a long road, Getting from there

To here.

It's been a long time, but my time is finally near.

I can feel a change in the wind right now, Nothings in my way. And they're not gonna hold me down no more, no they're not gonna hold me down. Cause I've got faith of the heart,

I'm going where my heart will take me, I've got faith to believe, I can do anything. I've got strength of the soul, and no one's gonna bend or break me, I can reach any star

I've got faith, faith of the heart. Its been a long night, trying to find my way. Been through the darkness, now I finally have my day

And I will see my dreams come alive at last, I will touch the sky

And they're not gonna hold me down no more, no they're not gonna change my mind. Cause I've got faith, of the heart, I'm going where my heart will take me, I've got faith to believe I can do anything.  I've got strength of the soul, no one's gonna bend or break me, I can reach any star, I've got faith, faith of the heart. I've known a wind so cold, I've seen the darkest days

But now the winds I feel are only winds of change. I've been through the fire and I've been through the rain but I'll be fine. Cause I've got faith, of the heart, I'm going where my heart will take me, I've got faith to believe I can do anything. I've got strength of the soul, no one's gonna bend or break me, I can reach any star, I've got faith, I've got faith, faith of the heart.  It's been a long road....

Be well all...
