Hi Bel
I am celebrating my two year diagnosis anniversary mid October... Last October I had finished treatment and was having my last surgery ( ovaries and tube removal ) ready to return to work in early november.
I found October very hard to be diagnosis month. I remember walking around the shops in disbelief at my diagnosis and everywhere I looked there were posters, pink balloons etc for breast cancer awareness month. I just wanted to scream. I was still trying to get my head around the scariness of " with early treatment there's a good chance of survival" and it was like a bad dream having it in my face.
Two years on I'm back at the job I love, i am now a foster carer,I'm alot more selfish ( doing things for me ) and intolerant of silly people and their insensitive comments, I have travelled to Thailand again, I have appeared on the front page of a national magazine, I have a very special pink sister Mich in my life, I am planning to visit her in nov and together I will cross of my dream of swimming with dolphins in the wild from my ever growing bucket list and I am saving my $$ and planning a trip to Disneyland in hong kong next year, something I have wanted to do since I was a young child.
I am living my life, I am happy and I AM ALIVE and for that I am thankful everyday
Happy breast cancer awareness month ;)
