hi beautiful ladies! Ul be all glad to hear after my 'hating' blog that I am learning to live with cancer or even 'like'. Strange but yes true' like'. i started to type love but then i realised um def know haha i like waking up in the morning..something so simple, i like listing to the birds in the morning thinking this is a brand new day, i like reading blogs from this sight knowing i am not alone, i like how my future reads...full of ideas and ambition, we have one life so enjoy it! i like how my neice and nephew arnt freaked out when i walk around the house bald, i like how this whole experience has made my mother and i much more closer, i like how cancer has snapped my sister out of depression and made her realise that there is more important things in life, i like how the nurses at the hospital make me feel at home, i like the cheap stall in the hospital ( i like shopping hehe), i like the regular calls thats I receive from the breast care nurse at the living centre in melbourne to see how I am, i like how this journey has made me realise how much i truly love my fiance and how wonderful he really is, I like that i dont have to wake up earlier to straighten my hair as i have none! haha! i like the regular contact i have with friends-just a simple text message i receive from them lightens up my day, i like how i can choose what type of head wear to put on that day,i like how I have now got the confidence to try new things, but most of all i like meeting new people and making new friendships along this journey of mine,and  that i have option to volunteer and help other younger women dealing with this disease as it is a journey, so BCNA if you need any help- i am here!! haha!  We are the sisterhood of breast cancer and we stick together! :) :) :)
