Returning to this site

My name Amanda and I am actually returning after a couple years absense.
In that time I have had a life changing illness. In November of 2013 I was diagnosed with Primary Peritoneal Cancer. I had surgery shortly after and then started chemotherapy after the surgery. I was not able to obtain full remission so I will eventually go back into chemo. In the meantime I have been participating in Livestrong, a program through our local YMCA that is solely for cancer survivors and their supporters. It is a WONDERFUL program and I highly suggest it for anyone who has or is going through cancer. As one of my goals in the program I listed loosing some weight. I have taken the bull by the horns and am active and eating right. I am seeing once again how journaling helps me keep on track. I liked this site before and am going to try and stay with it this time.
