You Can Walk Straight through Hell with A Smile!Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on November 21, 2012
Today I found out, from my daughter, that my kids are spending Thanksgiving with my ex husband, his new girlfriend and her parents. I am surprisingly o.k. On the initial hear, I thought, oh no, am I going to break down? You know what, I didn’t. I feel o.k. Of course I did Google her [...]
Wearing my Scars Well!Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on July 21, 2012
Today I spent the afternoon at the famous and lovely Wiesbaden spa. This is a very German spa, which to us Americans means nude. I have never really minded nude, but growing up in the states makes the body much more private than other countries consider it to be. Anyway, the last time I hung [...]
Can Boxing Replace Happy Pills? I think maybe so!Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on June 13, 2012
Before I get into the meat of this blog let me start by saying that I believe in medicine. If you need medicine please take it. If medicine improves your quality of life, by all means take it. Quality is very important, and it is o.k. to live medicated, many people improve their lives with [...]
Benefits of Therapy!Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on May 9, 2012
I saw my therapist today. It was really good. We were talking about attachment vs. detachment.

I already feel like I don’t care and am unaffected, but my therapist seems to think that I can’t [...]

Holding AirPosted by Katrina Kaczmarek on March 24, 2012
My party tonight turned out to be two celebrations for the price of one. Yesterday I finished chemotherapy, and this morning we signed the divorce papers. Wow, it has been a big two days. I cried twice today. I cried a bit after dropping off the papers for my ex to sign, and then I [...]
God made a way through the Pain!Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on March 23, 2012
Sometimes the end is scarier than the beginning. I think this is because the end signifies a new and unknown beginning. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer one year and three months ago, I was scared, but I knew the plan. I had been to medical school. I had actually been a medical student [...]
Last TreatmentPosted by Katrina Kaczmarek on March 22, 2012
Today is my last chemo treatment!!! I am so excited to be done. It feels like I have been going to the oncologist forever. I started chemotherapy last year on February third. It has been a very long year. This year has been full of downs, and yet I feel so up. I have much [...]
