tomorrow


by: Trish on Wed, May 21 2008

I was so excited to hear again that June 1st is national cancer survivor day! The day after June 2nd I will be celebrating that I will be a survivor for years now! I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004 and have had mastectomy in 04 and 07, chemo radiation and recon w/ problems, lymphadema, job loss after 15 years, a husband that left me and left me in a financial mess. But today I have my health, I feel like a hero, I am strong, I am brave, I feel great, I know I will survive, I have life to look forward too. I know I have a new job waiting just for me! My life is just about to begin, because I am just about to start living my dreams and doing what I was most meant to do! I am a survivor and I thank you for caring!
