Happy Cancerversary to ME!!
Seven years ago on a beautiful April day, a week before my 30th birthday, I was told that I had cancer. I went through 6 months of chemo, 20 treatments of radiation, the 2 port placements and removals, and 1 week in isolation in the hospital due to an infection. Because of cancer, we’ve made friends (looking at you my Cancer-5K peeps) and we’ve lost friends. We’ve lost too many friends. It’s been over 6 years since I’ve been in remission and almost 2 years since my doctor said I was considered cured. It's odd to celebrate something so painful and horrific, but I do. I celebrate because I’m still here. And I celebrate because I love cake. And I’ll take any excuse to have cake. Someone buy me a cake.
