Thanks everyone - I am so happy that you all like the "Butterfly Effect" - I thought of this as I was diagnosed at the start of Winter - then realised "Wow" I will be finished (sort of) in Spring - A Caterpillar goes into its "Cocoon" to strengthen itself for its transition into a "Butterfly" - all Breast Cancer patients do the same, upon diagnosis we basically go within ourselves to analysis "Why Me". It takes enormous strength to go through Chemo (even if you do not have Chemo - it still takes so much energy just to survive knowing you have cancer) - we all cope differently - but at the end of the day we all go within (Cocoon) and then we come out (Butterfly) with a greater and renewed sense of "Us" - You realise wow I have fought the good fight and WON - Butterflies be free to fly and show your beautiful colours to everyone - WHY - Because you have earn't every lovely and beautiful colour on your new sense of empowerment - You SURVIVED BREAST CANCER!!!!!
