Hmmm...I do still have a blog. It's kind of interesting as I was reflecting on what happened 4 1/2 years ago on July 18th (which is my husband's birthday). 4 1/2 years ago on that date, the nurse from the Oncology Clinic in our community called to tell me that the biopsy was positive for cancer. I had Breast Cancer!!!!
In reflection I had always thought that a diagnosis such as that would be devastating. It was. Life has a way of carrying on though. I still had a job that I wanted to keep. Laundry still needed to be done. I had a garden that still needed tending to. Life was moving along and I had to too.
As the magical 5 year anniversary is approaching, I had a thought last night. One of my coworkers is about 8 years younger than I am. I was thinking about going back in time about 8 years and what I would do. I definitely would not want to go back, but if I did, would I do anything differently? Probably not except to not have missed that one year when I didn't have a mammogram. If I had of had that mammogram the year before I was diagnosed, would it have been seen? I'll never know. Ladies....do not skip a year!!
