So long to the blog and kiss this cancer GOODBYE!

As you all can see (read) - I am not much of a consistent and dedicated writer. However, my informing talent is substantial. I am ending this blog of cancer updates because, well, the cancer as well as my chemotherapy and radiation treatments are finished. I have been frustrated with how long this recovery is taking which is completely ridiculous because it is only one month since my radiation finished on October 9th, 2008. And of course in Courtney fashion, the very next day I hopped on a plane with Grant and Severn, to attend my brother's wedding in LA for the weekend. And the wedding was beautiful. My brother wed his partner of 22 years in their backyard on a warm sunny day. Family and close friends attended and I really felt overwhelming loved and very pleased to meet the 'outlaws'. Unfortunately I couldn't go to Disneyland the next day but I did go to El Matador beach in Malibu and had great visit with Lesley, Hailey, Al, Roxanne and Sarah. We built the biggest sandcastle with mote and tunnel. It was a beautiful day.
My energy is coming back but I still get very tired if I perform anything physical. I have started my massage therapy and wow has that been over due. Arif, you are amazing. Grant has booked a trip to the Mayan Riviera from December 20-27th and we can hardly wait. I will be back in action in the new year. It has been an entire year since this journey began and the additional emotions of losing a dear friend, two mothers and a cousin. My state of mind has been foggy but strong and I need to be patient with myself. So I have promised myself to keep writing (something). So I will not leave my blog, it just won't be about my day to day struggle with breast cancer.
And for all you Facebook users, be very aware, I am re-joining so please be my friend 8-)
Lots of love and thank you so much for your prayers and love - I feel it all.
