Diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast Cancer in 2019, my life quickly changed. The mundane, safe daily life and the problems I complained about were suddenly gone.
The surgery, the treatments, the endless scans and doctor visits were easy- because I was under constant surveillance. After I was joyfully in remission and granted a “new” normal life, is when the fear started. The fear of when will it return? What if the scan comes back positive this time? What if my tumor marker comes back high? Surviving cancer was killing me.
These thoughts never leave, but we try to put them in a box on a shelf and only think about it when it’s time for another scan.
In the meantime, we live. We live because we are granted another day and we are so lucky for today. Thanks to my amazing husband and amazing friends who let me stand under their umbrella during my storm, I am living again.
