Cancerversary I

Today, I celebrate my first full year cancer-free.

Fwd Focus

I wonder to myself, “Is this a slow suicide?” Just take the pill, everything will be alright, you’ll be okay.

In the Pink

I used to hate the color pink. I think it stemmed from when I was younger, my mother only ever buying me pink clothes for my birthday and Christmas. Perhaps it was her attempt to cure me of my tom-boyish ways.

RE: Mission

With my radiation treatments behind me, I guess that I am considered to be in remission.

Radiant

An update, now that I have finished my first 3 weeks of radiation therapy and several people have been asking how I have been.

Radia Shun

In preparation for my radiation “therapy,” l tried to learn everything I could in advance from the cancer Facebook groups that I belong to. There are thousands of women in one particular group, most of whom have already gone through, or are currently going through radiation. One conversation in particular, caught my eye.

Cancer Rue-lette

This week was supposed to be a week of answers, of revelation regarding my cancer treatment. Alas, not to be. You see, I received my Oncotype Dx score back, the gold-standard, tell-all test that determines what course of treatment to take. Sadly, for me it was dead-center, right down the middle.
