Seems to be my week for causes.....
#1. I am a breast cancer survivor. I am fast approaching my 4 year mark following my surgery and radiation treatments.
#2. I'm doing fine, thank you. I recently had a visit with my oncologist, and she says everything looks OK. Personally, I'm glad we've cut our little visits/chats to twice a year. I like the people who work there, they are all very nice and professional and all, but I wouldn't shed a tear if I never had to see them again. ~Maybe in the grocery store or the mall or something would be OK.
#3. I'm still working through the effect having cancer has on my brain. I didn't have chemo...and I thank God everyday for that...but it changed me. Some for the better, some not. I sometimes have bouts with depression. I notice I'm a little more paranoid these days. But, I'm working through it, and doing my best to keep my thoughts positive. I'm truly a natural optimist.
#4. I have an awesome family and group of friends that support me. I can't thank them enough for everything they've done for me...I try to bake, or do little things I think of on the spur of the moment to help them get through their weeks too....
#5. Last, but not least. I thank all of my blogger friends for the laughter and tears. Mostly the laughter, because most of you are a crazy lot...just the way I like it!
Thank you!
Love, 365
So glad you've seen the last four years and you're still with us.
ReplyDeleteI have lost more than one friend to cancer and I hate it.
Glad you're not having to go see the Oncologist so often, too. So stressful.
Thanks, Ami! I've been shocked to find so many people I know have experienced breast cancer. Mine was found on a yearly mammogram, so be sure to keep up with your yearly check-ups.
