My Experience with Hodgkin's Lymphoma

I did not plan on writing a journal entry today, but as soon as I saw this, I had to write.  Let me explain.

Three years ago today, I had my first chemotherapy treatment (coincidentally this was my dog, Pretzel's birthday which makes it very easy to remember the date).  Well, I receive the daily inspirational messages from St. Therese's website.  Here is today's message:

I am not dying, I am entering into Life...
                                                                St. Therese

How weird is it that this message comes to me on the anniversary of my first chemo treatment?  I haven't written about it, but I absolutely consider life after cancer a "new life" not to mention a better life in all ways, and this is the day it began for me.  This only verifies what I believe.  I think this was so cool-thank you, God!

  Congratulations on your three-year anniversary. I agree, there is no coincedence here.
  
  I didn't know there was a St. Therese's web site, but I'm not surprised. Most of my "traffic" in saints has been with St. Jude Thaddeus because of my husband's Alzheimer's disease.

  That's beautiful, and not a coincidence.
