No one likes to talk about it, but sometimes it gets right in your face and you have no choice but to meet and intruduce yourself to it ....cancer.
I never thought I'd find myself there, but thanks to early detection I found out that I had breast cancer. I always thought I would freak out to hear that news, but somehow a calm came over me and I knew I had to handle it in a matter of fact, keep on smiling kind of way.
The surgery removed the cancer, now the key is stopping it from returning, although I haven't found out yet what those treatment options will be.
Before my surgery Lacey and I went out dancing at Jack's...a going-away party for my breasts such as they were. I had no idea how much would be removed, so figured I'd take them "out for a spin" one last time. Thankfully I woke up from my surgery and found out that they didn't look drastically different , and my dear surgeon even gave into my request not to take out my nipple piercings! (A trivial request, but it was important to me!)
So now I wait....listen to the proposed treatment plan....get a second opinion...make a decision....follow up.....count my blessings... and still say to myself what a beautiful journey life is!
