10 Years!

April 3, 2017Current Mood: ReminiscentWell, March 8th marked my 10 year Cancerversary and I wanted to blog about it but wasn ’t sure how I wanted to tackle it or how I wanted to share…I could take the approach, how did Cancer change me? Or what have I accomplished since my D-Day? I guess I ’m doing a little of both in this blog.Sure it ’s been 10 years since I heard those life changing words, “You’ve got cancer”, but I live with reminders every day. Yes, every day I have to take a shower and see my scars and look at what the cancer took from me. Yes, putting lotion on my body has gotten easier over the years and sure the scars have faded but they’re still there, a constant reminder of my past. I try so hard not to dwell on it but every now and then it still hurts.So how has cancer changed me?Well for one I definitely don ’t judge people and by that I mean when I see someone. I hated when people would stare at me and my bald head. Or even better would stare at me when my hair was just growing back and probably thinking, wow that’s a short haircut she must be a lesbian. I think, no I know, cancer has changed me in how I look at my life and what I want to do and who I want in my life. I believe I’m a better person for meeting other cancer survivors and sharing our stories. I’ve made some amazing friends, who I call my Cancer Friends. They’re the ones that really get me. Sure my Family and Friends were there for me through my Cancer Crapness Journey...
