I am Blessed!

I follow many blogs, some on here and many on a site cancer specific. I go for days and days and cancer never enters my mind, then I have days that I can't think of anything else. Then I am given a gift, something to remind me how blessed I am.

I was diagnosed in April '08 with Triple Negative Breast Cancer, breast cancer has hormone recepters attached to it, it is the one time in your life you want to be positive for something. This cancer is harder to treat because of the receptors, it is also know to be aggressive. When my cancer was found my tumor was tinee tiny, 0.6cm, that is less than a centimeter. Doc's tell me that they seldom find a tumor that small and they don't treat unless the tumor is larger than 0.5. They would just surgically remove the tumor and watch you for years.

So I was treated with chemo and radiation, those treatments are not pleasant, but I would do it over again if I had to. So where the heck is all this going?

Recently, I have come across people who have come out of remission, newly diagnosed, secondary cancers. My problems are practically invisible compared to what others endure. I am healthy, growing hair and enjoying life. I am blessed.
