Snowflake Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Just wanted to share in a big day, tomorrow is my three-year anniversary of being CANCER FREE! Three years ago, February 10th was on a Monday, the scariest Monday of my life, so far. The close second scariest actually became scarier after midnight therefore making it a scary Tuesday... I'm still wearing those big girl panties, I DO change them daily, though. Being three years out, I'd like to share that there are STILL monsters under my bed. There are still monsters lurking in the corners of my brain, waiting to kick me when I'm down and drag me into the darkness of helplessness. I keep fresh batteries in my flashlight and replace my baseball bat after I break it over the head of one of those darn monsters. They still come, but not nearly as often as they used to. Never turn your back on cancer, face the monster head on. Put on your big girl panties and get over it. Love to all, Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terriep Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I'll hike up my big girl panties and join you in a great big YYYYEEEEHHHHHAAAA!! Congrats to you!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chloesmom Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Becky, Warmest congratulations on your 3 year milestone....and I'm glad to hear that you're successfully fending off those monsters too. They can be tenacious buggers, and I still let them get too close to me once in a while, but I guess we're all working on keeping them out of our way. Anyway, I couldn't be happier for you....keep up the good results! Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stand4hope Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 ATSSUH MUH GIRL!!!!! FYI: My son calls my big girl panties "granny panties" . . . As Don would say, "SMART A@*" Becky, I think you're too ornery for cancer - it can't take it. Congrats, girlfriend! Love you! Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debi Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Becky, Congrats on your 3 years.. I know it would sound horribly selfish to say that although I hate that your here, I'm also glad that you're on here, that its been great having your company on this journey, that its comforting to know that you are out there fighting monsters too, maybe not physically alongside me but at least in spirit.......and hey, you always have those fresh batteries.. SOOOOOO of course I won't say all THAT, since I am not at all selfish! Anyway, you go girlfriend...make sure you do something to celebrate that involves chocolate!!

Nushka Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Believe me Becky, I have on my big girl (clean) panties everyday. Congratulations on your big day. Celebrate...sleep with the lights on.

Geri Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 This is gret news, I wish you a LONG lifetime of big girl panties!
