Just felt like writing!

Well 31st Of October (halloween) is approaching fast, and it's become a very special day for me each year! It's the day I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008. Last halloween, my first anniversary since that day my life changed forever, I had a big  party, mainly for my daughter and her friends for halloween, but also quietly celebrating the fact that I was alive and well 12 months on!

This year, on my second year anniversary, I plan to celebrate again...the fact that i am alive and life is good!

While the journey has been rough, terrifying at times and exhausting too, it has also been filled with many positives for me believe it or not (NEVER thought I'd say that!!!)!

So roll on halloween...can't wait to celebrate yet again!

    Hi Celeste, well done, it truly is one day at a time until you blink and it's one year at a time. My daughter is born halloween (my little witch, haha) she is 17 yrs old this year but I remember her 13th as I was bald i fitted right into her scary theme,lol, but I think of the positive side and know that several of the mums picking up their kids went for health checks that year, so if our journey makes others more aware then just goes to show that some good can come from something so bad. Party on, will be thinking of you on the 31st, good health...Kaz
