I was diagnosed Jan 2008, and I will never forget that day. It took a minute or two for the word 'cancer' to sink in. Then I looked at my doctor and said let's do it. And so the adventure began: surgery, chemotherapy, radiation. I am now five years cancer free. It was a hard adventure: the chemo and radiation made me sick. It was a great adventure in that I meant some wonderful people along the way. God gave me hope, He gave me great doctors and nurses, He walked with me every step of the way. Breast cancer was the worst thing that ever happened to me, but it was also the best thing that ever happened to me. I saw such compassion and goodness in the people I came in contact with. If you are just now beginning the cancer journey, hang in there; you have hope. If you are a survivor, hang in there; you have hope. I click every day, and always say a prayer for those affected by cancer.
