November 6 was the day I first learned I had breast cancer, and now with school finally out in June, I can’t help but look back and reflect on the past months: November (diagnosis and first MRI), December (lumpectomy), January/February (mammogram, second biopsy, second cancer diagnosis, second MRI), March (double mastectomy), and April (beginning of monthly injections and tamoxifen). It was indeed, quite a ride, and one that I never thought I would have to take. Cancer changed my life, yet only three months after my mastectomy, life has eerily returned to normal. So normal, in fact, that it’s been hard to even keep up my blog. Homework, practice schedules, games, promotions, and get-togethers have filled our days, returning life to what it once was.
I now find myself on the other side of the cancer equation. Each day I learn of more people affected by this terrible disease, and my heart breaks. It is a battle I wish no one had to fight, and I helplessly follow blogs waiting impatiently for updates to come. I do so wish that a cure for cancer would be foundJ.
In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life. It goes on. ~Robert Frost
