Cancer on Grey's Anatomy

Last week on ABC's Grey's Anatomy, one of the main characters, Dr Izzy Stevens was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic melanoma. The surviving rate for her particular situation is only 5%. This show is on 5th season. Although it hasn't gotten as much ratings as before, I still like to follow the story.

Every time I hear someone is going through cancer, my heart hurts. I can't watch people dying of cancer on TV or movies anymore. It's because I can relate to them too much. I'm sure Grey's Anatomy will describe the importance of fighting for life and the value of having supports from friends and family. It's just a TV show and it may seem silly to be attached, but watching someone living the fullest is something always encourages me. At the same time, it makes me think maybe having a life is a miracle.

It's tax time!

6 more weeks until April 15!
About this time of last year, I finished with my first chemo therapy. Since I was in and out of the office so much, I didn't see many of our clients last year. This year, I'm in the office every day. Most of our clients knew what was going on with me already, but some didn't. Several people said "I like your new hair! When did you cut it?".

I'm simply happy to be able to come to work everyday. Isn't it great you can eat what you want and taste the food? I just remember I had lots of smoothies and jamba juice during chemo therapy. Even when I dream about tax returns and number at night during busy tax season and how tired I get, I still feel happy when I get up in the morning to go to work.
