On this day
On this day three years ago I did not know I had cancer. I was not worried, I was just annoyed that my training (running) was disrupted for a few weeks due to the surgery I had had the week before to take a lump out of my breast.
The lump did not feel the way I imagined cancer would feel and the GP, ultrasound technician and surgeon all were cheerfully reassuring that it was benign but best just get it checked out anyway.
So we all had quite a shock when it turned to be cancer. That was three years ago tomorrow.
I feel like I should mark the day somehow tomorrow but I'm not sure what to do. On the first anniversary I went to work as normal but the next day I went to Adelaide for the weekend. It was just a coincidence that the trip was that weekend but it was still nice to do something different for the anniversary. Last year on the anniversary I was on holiday in America so that was exciting. This year I am going to work tomorrow and for the rest of the week. It would be quite awkward to take day off this week.
Maybe just sitting and thinking is all I need to do to mark the anniversary. At least it will be light in the evening so I can sit in the yard and look at the trees.
