There is a Christian group called Barlow Girl that I really like. They have a song that really speaks to me right now and seems to keep me in fighting mode. I want to share the lyrics with you:
“One More Round”
Round One wasn’t what I thought it’d be
Round Two I’m struggling to breath
3, 4, 5, 6, 7 times I wondered why I stepped inside this ring
I may be knocked down and bruised
But I’m here to tell you
That I may be knocked down but not for the count
1,2,3,4
So take me one more round
I’ll just keep fighting
One more round
You’re messing me up but I’m still here
One more round I’ll come out swinging
But I know that victory is when
I’m pushing through the pain that tries to feed me lies that I wont reach the end
I may be bloodied and so bruised
But I’m here to tell you
That I may be knocked down but not for the count
1,2,3,4
So take me one more round I’ll just keep fighting one more round
You’re messing me up but I’m still here
One more round
I’ll come out swinging
One more round
I’m telling you now I’m not gonna lose it
I am not defeated
Though you cannot see it
I have never won a battle on my own
I find strength in weakness
I find hope in believing
God is for me who can bring me down?
So take me one more round
I’ll just keep fighting
One more round
You’re messing me up but I’m still here
One more round
I’ll come out swinging one more round
I’m telling you now I’m not gonna lose it here
I’m not gonna go down now
Try to bring me
I’ll come out swinging
No matter what, I will keep on fighting!

I like the image of you with your shorn head, swinging–very tough!

Keep the positive attitude you had through chemo and radiation and you will slide through this next step with ease. I continue to tell everyone how proud I am of you!
