Hello everyone;)

My name is Kimberly. I'm a 51 year old stay at home mom married 21 years with one child and one Morkie poo. I live in a southern suburb of Pittsburgh, Pa. I have been an survivor of tongue and neck cancer stage 4a since my diagnosis on April 3, 2014.

i Had an 11 hour surgery on 4/25 that found a tumor had spread to 3 lymph nodes. I had 7 chemo and 33 rads. I had two feeding tubes, lost 80 pounds, had issues not able to keep food down, was in and out of the hospital for about 6 months.

i been in very good health since then.  I don't feel I'm going to die soon or have an relapse. In fact I feel confident I'll die to be old. I try to eat as healthy as I can and I walk my dog every day. I try not to let my experience put my down or the statics saying I'll prolly be dead in a few more years.

it just feels like negative energy to worry. I rather live life and enjoy it. I been thinking about how positive energy has the same effect as negative. I believe you draw to you sometimes what your feeling. Studies do show that prayer, Postive thinking have very strong favorable outcomes.

i was very sad, in a negative state when my cancer was found. Horrible things were happening to me, I mean just terrible then 6 months later I get this?

i wasn't a smoker and I rarely drank. I was maybe a little overweight but I do believe something was attached to me.

i came here because I am hoping you guys may be able to relate?
