Love Letter to Life 04.14.2025 Blood Test

Dear Life, I have blood tests and doctor visit this morning. We continue to track the “health” of my body on a monthly basis. What are the red and white cell counts, platelets, ANC, and overall levels of all my blood/body functions. Whenever tests are on the schedule, there’s a knot in my stomach. Most cancer patients understand this anxiety. No matter how I physically feel, there is the question about what is happening inside of me. I remember to breathe, be in the moment and release the tension.
Acceptance is the key to inner freedom.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 12.16.2024 The Bumpy Ride

Dear Life, Anyone on the cancer journey experiences the bumpy ride, the ups and downs of the body and emotions. One expects to feel elated with a good PetScan report yet can experience exhaustion from the anxiety. Then slowly, the “good news” sinks in and there is some relief but measured. Riding out this leg of the emotional road can only be done by being in the moment with a full dose of acceptance. I am wearing my spiritual seatbelt and bumping along the road. Today woke with gratitude and ready to dive into my book project. Thank You Life!
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
