cancerversary......3 years ago

It was only 3 years ago that I was for sure gonna die from breast cancer....the chemo from 3 months prior didn't work and so on this day I choose to have surgery...now 3 yrs later IM STILL CANCER FREE!!!

Every.single.time i look in the mirror at my scars, see the 20lbs I gained, my walker, or my dark frizzy hair i tell myself its all for a GREAT reason. And I still thank the Lord daily for all the love shown to me in that time.......

After 456325695 women stated on blogs, forums and on social media that they felt normal in weeks, I WAS NOT ONE OF THEM. sure, i felt better daily but i did not feel normal.......now 3 years after the dr.'s played operation with my body and 5 months off tamoxifen i feel almost normal.

my sister n law said something that really rang true for me and i say it almost daily...

You lived ......now live

then

and now
