I have been writing this blog anonymously since my diagnosis in December. I guess I chose to be anonymous because I was ashamed of my cancer and what comes with it. I will never really be OK with having cancer, but now I am at a place with things where I am OK with telling others that I had breast cancer. I just don't care anymore who knows all that much. I guess with time you just get use to it and realize that it's a part of who I am now.
Now that so much time has gone by and I have had time to digest my diagnosis and get through treatment, I have decided to reveal myself to those of you that read my blog. I also want to share photos of the success I have had with using Penguin Cold Caps to keep my hair through chemotherapy. I want others to see that you don't have to look like a cancer patient. You can look like a normal, healthy, vibrant woman. So if you are curious, stay tuned and photos will follow soon. Since I am moving this week it may take me time to get to the camera as it is packed for the move.
I am a wife, a mom, a sister, a daughter, a neice, an aunt and a friend. I never thought I would hear the words "It's not good. There are cancer cells". December 8, 2010 changed my life forever. This is my scary, long, enlightening journey through breast cancer. I hope that my words help others facing a similar situation or those that love someone going through breast cancer. I don't know where the road in front of me leads, but I know that Breast Cancer won't define me.
