snapshOt of 2007
a snapshot of my 2007. a quick glance back at 2007. a lot of me. i cried a little making the photos mosaic. looking back at some 'really sick' photos of me. the no-hair me. the ghastly ghostly pale me. the brownish patchy skin me (having my skin burnt inside out by chemo a few times). the swollen eyes me. the sunken cheek me. the bony skinny weak weak me.... so hard to believe that's me.
it's over. think hAPPy thoughts now.
it's over. think hAPPy thoughts now.
1. Matt 1st day at kindy.
2. Cyndi, Federick, Becca, Tim & Lisa, Dan, Matt, Brad get together.
3. sunway lagoon interactive zoo. Matt rode the pony. Brad bitten by pony.
4. the worst worst worst day of my life .... "i'm so sorry. you have cancer."
5. a pneumonectomy surgery. lost a lung. lots of pain. but i chose happy thoughts. our 6th wedding anniversary. Brad's birthday. my birthday.
6. yet another surgery. insertion of chemo port.
7. life was put on hold. chemo,chemo,chemo and chemo. for 4 months... just surviving chemo.
8. Emend came to the rescue. stop the vomiting. start the hallucination.
9. little rock n roll Matt at Kindy graduation concert. i was very sick and yet i was there.
10. the baldie me. end of chemo.... (hopefully) NEVER AGAIN!
11. road to recovery. lots of green. nourishing healthy detox food.
12. go back to work. go back to life. a very merry 'feel alive" Christmas. Matty's birthday. the now me.... still alive and kicking.
it has been a tough tough year ..... let's just hope the worst is over. what i realize is that whatever physical pain i endured has no match to the love in my heart to stay alive for my loved ones.
adios 2007. welcoming a HEALTHIER, STRONGER & BETTER 2008!

For a long while, I didn't know what to say, looking and reading your Year.. but I know it has been such a tough time for you - the shock, the dark months, the dullness, the helplessness.. Yet, you pulled through with such bravery and so much love in your spirit.. May you remember the past year, but move on to better memories for the next!
Biggest hugs and Wishes, dear Lisa, for 2008. Careful with the forbidden food! :-)
you're strong and brave, Lisa, keep your spirit on...:)
Happy New Year to you and your family!
So much has happened to you this year... you have also brought us along on the roller coaster ride.. feeling your pain, your fear, your love, your love of life, your strength.. etc etc.
Am so glad things are getting better, Happy New Year to you. :)
Have a great year ahead, Happy New Year!

Hi dear, even I don't really know you. But, from every words that you had written here, I can feel that you have been a really "TOUGH" lady, and because of your love for the little 2 fellas & your lovely hubby, you made it and still making it now.
