As you can tell by my infrequent posts, I'm sick of talking about cancer. I'm sick of thinking about it...there are days I wished it never touched my life. I guess it's not uncommon to feel that. But when cancer struck me a second time, in a much more serious and...
It's October, and you can't help but notice there's A LOT of pink around. I heard the expression that it's the "pinking of America." So true. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Turning everything pink in October has been a very successful campaign in making...
So, here I sit, one-year later.... one year of being cancer free and adjusting to my new body. But how well have I really adjusted to my new life? After surviving a life-threatening disease, you come out of it renewed, ready to live life to the maximum. You're ready...
