One Year Breast Cancer Diagnosis Anniversary

One year ago today Monday, July 7, 2014, I heard the dreaded words, “you have breast cancer”. I am now so much more aware of little moments in my life… each day is a gift and I am so thankful for each day I have.

Watch my slideshow ---> One Year Cancer - Anniversary

I started putting together pictures last week to make a slideshow and wow, I have way more pictures that I wanted to share than my “Fight Song” had time for lol. It’s been a pretty scary, yet incredible 12 months. I have to say I had no idea that I would be able to handle what I did while still taking care of my babies and working full time. From Day 1 I knew I had to stay positive about the situation otherwise it would consume me… I didn’t even cry until several days after my diagnosis when I was told that I might have to have chemotherapy. Don’t get me wrong I had my Debbie Downer days; quite a few of them (just ask Jon, (love you babe)) but I tried to see the positive in such an overwhelmingly negative situation and we laughed A LOT! Laugher really is good medicine.

Thank you for going on this journey with me and for all of the likes, comments, cards, texts, phone calls, visits and prayers. I have such a wonderful support system and couldn’t have done it with you (you know who you are J).

What a difference a year makes

           I'm not sure how long I will keep my blog going. I might end it in September when I go to Maryland to get my final reconstruction step complete. Either way I'll have a few more posts before then.

XOXO, Lynn
