Anniversary of it all

Hi all,
I'm happy to be on this end of having cancer. Last year when I heard, I had to have a mastectomy, I thought my life was over. Looking forward to the actual surgery, I knew specifically, what was going to happen from the moment the nurses rolled me away from my family, until I got to recovery; I knew the motions of the surgery. However, being a patient, a recovering patient was something forgein to me.

I don't know when it was, late August or early September, I began to fast walk,that led into a very slow jog. I knew then, I was gonna be okay. I realized that, Cancer had taken my breasts away, the stuff that makes us look extra girlie, but it had not taken my determination or my passion away. For that I am thankful! I'm thankful to be on this end of having cancer.

I'm smack in the middle of a new battle, and unknown one. I'm in constant pain,& full of narcotics. I replay 2007's late August or early September in my head. Remembering what it was like to start slowly jogging again. It sure did hurt, and it sure did tire the hell out of me, but the fact that I could do it was all that mattered to me. That same determine gal is still inside me, she's just drunk from medication! I know though, that I've been okay once before, and will be again. Patience (most of you know that I'm not the very best with this) is what will help me win this next battle.....AND, the support from you guys!

The notes ya'll leave on my site are so supportive. I read those messages a couple of times a day, more on the days when I've got the blues. Please continue to visit the site, check up on me, and leave me a note.Thank you for what each of you have already done, and thank you in advance for......being my/our friends.

More information about what's next will be posted as soon as I know more. I'm scheduled to see my doctor 7-21, maybe I'll know more then.
