Writing every other day has become somewhat difficult with the event approaching, but here we go. Happy Birthday to me!!! I am 28. Cancer-free and ready to party. I don't have to wake up early anymore for doctor appointments, but here I am at my computer at 6:16 am..lol...First day after my last radiation and I can'teven sleep in. Jeeze louise.
Yesterday was an emotional day. Last day of radiation. For the last time, they were going to put that mask on my face and beneath the tight plastic pressing against me, I shed my tears. Before leaving my house, I had tried calling MIX 96 to request a song. It really feels like it's pulling teeth. I also tried on my last chemo treatment. Anywho, this time I finally got through and requested "What a feeling". I don't think he believed me. MIX96 is starting to suck arse!!! I never call in for these cheesy games and stuff and the first time I really wanted something...bah....it's like that, right?
As they removed the mask from my face, I asked them if I could keep it. They knew I wanted it. I took it and I am going to get in mounted. If Duchamp could have done it with a urinal, why can't I?...lol I freaked my sister out when I put in on and ran around the house with it. lol...Seriously my life is great! I had left the Radio-oncology, say good-bye to the other regulars, and for some reason the day of my diagnosis came into my mind.
I was wearing a yellow top, blue jeans, always fantastically accessorized and I fell into daddy's arms and screamed for the first time. Yesterday, I was literally was in my pj's, and when daddy came home I fell into his arms for he sent me a dozen white roses. I feel like I don't look the same. I feel now that I have changed, a little. I look at pictures of myself from last year and feel I don't recognize that person anymore. boh!
As much as I am saddened by my situation, I am happy and blessed by everyone's support and I could not have done it without my family and friends. Maybe I should put that in my speech for Sunday...lol...Dang! I have to write a speech.
Tonight, all my family is coming over. My Little Mermaid cake has been ordered and every year that is all I request. Many question how mature I really am, but Ariel is all I got. On my 28th birthday I start a new page, the new side of my life, my remission. All the treatments are over. I don't need to go to the hospital everyday. I don't need meds, masks or anything.
This summer is my summer and let me tell you, the next 3 months look fantastically interesting.

Hi Lisa! Happy Birthday!
I received an e-mail from a friend of yours about what a special dual day this is for you. Just awesome.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
On another note, I'm not sure who you spoke with when you called this morning but I can guarantee that
you weren't meant to feel slighted. I know these people personally and we have all been touched somehow by
cancer. It's why we do a month long cancer fundraiser every year!
We get soooo many requests in a day. And it's very hard for the morning show, especially, to take requests,
as we need to stick to a specific playlist.Our Music Department would not have been in yet to check - we need to clear stuff with them first.
But this is all behind the scenes stuff that is hard to say when you're having a 30 second phone call and trying to do a show! hehehe...
Anyway, I was thrilled to learn of what a special day this is for you. What a great gift. And what an amazing
person you are to have spearheaded this fundraiser on Sunday. Good luck with it! I gave it a mention on the air and
I"ve posted the link on my page at themix.com.
So - enjoy your special day! And again - congratulations!! Put your partypants on, sister!!
Well thank you Nat Lauzon. I really appreciate it. As well I am not sure who emailed you but I would like to thank them. I have a great many supporters and surrounded by much love.
I don't ask for much, but when mojo music is needed, let me tell ya...it changes ones perspective to the day.lol... It's ok, everything went well and I am officially done with all the crap that comes with cancer...lol...YAYAYA!!!!
Thx again.
