Thanks for the reply! I’m stage IV also. Within 6 months,it had metastasized to my left lung. I’m in no way cured & of course that knowledge sticks with me. I recently lost my mom in November; she was 8, just turned 85 a week before.

I live with my brother in our parents’ old house, but as soon as mom passed my 2 sisters have been pushing to sell. The house needs a lot of repairs. My brother and I want to stay but it’s gotten majorly sour among us.

One of my sisters is angry that I’ve had attention from having cancer and said “Yeah, Jennifer has cancer so f**k me, right?” to my brother.

Hey anyone is welcome to take this kind of attention away from me, you know? So my brother who is 11 yrs older and disabled through heart disease and I are looking at this as an adventure we will have together.

My days will be different so I’m going to try something new once a week if I can keep motivated. Plus I’ve signed up with WordPress (I think that’s the name. I just signed up 30 mins ago!) I’m going to try blogging.

Do you like to write? What keeps you busy?

I was told one year ago that I had one to two years to live. A month after that the Sarcoma returned on my femoral artery in my left leg. Subsequent to that a life/death infection set in which led to four horrible back to back surgeries from January 2017–March 2017. I’m still here! At this moment I have less than 1cm of it in my right lung. I’m taking life moment to moment. Moments are what we string together to make our memories so I don’t want to waste any!

Christmas is my favorite time of year, and it’s difficult because I fast forward in my mind wondering about when I may see my last. I just have to stop that! This year was better – I didn’t think that way. After almost 6 yrs I’m getting a better handle on myself; however, that’s subject to change!
