I named this page "Survivor" Kelly's Cancer Island because,

I love the TV reality show "Survivor". I  have watched every season from the very beginning. My husband even applied to go on, I think around the 3rd season. He did not get selected as a contestant – but if we could swing it, he would do it in a heartbeat.

For those who don't know me

     For those who don’t know me…I am an optimist at heart, I love life.... with my husband and son and I have a wonderful circle of family & friends. 
     I would describe myself as a hard worker, honest and caring person. I have had the role of caretaker in my family all my life. It comes very natural to me.

     It is hard to think of me – not being in control and asking for help from others. I am uncomfortable in this role. But they tell me I will get over that because we are going to need lots of help. Mentally, physically, spiritually, financially. It will be a long road for awhile….surgery for sure, possibly radiation, hormone therapy for 5 years, and maybe chemo. 
Right now it is very hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But I keep looking???
