When do you actually feel like a survivor?  Or do you?

I just had my mammogram and the follow up visit with my surgeon.  It’s all good!  Yet these tests and visits always bring up feelings and thoughts.  Anticipating the news while sitting in the waiting area… looking at the other women who are also sitting there…waiting. Some will not get good news and begin a different journey.  I got to leave, get back in my car and drive home.  But it’s not finished.  In several months there will be more tests and more visits.

There is no cure for cancer.  There is living beyond the diagnosis and treatment.  There is living with cancer.

There is life!
