I had what I hope will be my final surgery on Friday. I was pleasantly surprised at how calm I was. I did not really get nervous even when they rolled me into the operating room. I guess I am a real pro at this now after all the procedures and things that have happened in the last year. I guess surgery is just not a big deal anymore. Gotta love the breast cancer side effects.
At this point, now what I am done with surgery and it has been a whole year since my diagnosis (it was confirmed 1 year ago today), I am ready to slam the door on breast cancer and move on with my life. I am tired of living in a breast cancer world. At this point I want a "normal" life again. I want to live in the moment and experience joy and happiness, not live in fear of breast cancer. So in honor of it being one year since my diagnosis I am slamming the door as hard as I can and walking away with a smile on my face.
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.
