it is never over.

Two years ago... this week, life changed for me forever.
You may think I am back to normal-ish looking from the outside. I'm not.
Unless you have "done cancer*, it is never over.  Sure, the hair is back, no ill feelings with current treatment drug, and of course still alive.   

But I have:

• the memories,
• the external scars,
• the internal scars,
• the meds,
• lingering brain fog,
• numbness,
• nonexistent bladder,
• scan anxiety,
• and a body that is so wacked out due to lack of estrogen.

Sigh, it takes much mental effort to do anything now. I mean it, ANYTHING.

It makes me cry "pissed off tears' thinking about how much this diagnosis changed life . . . and I am one of those that caught it fairly early yet it took the whole 9 yards - surgery, chemo and radiation.

​So please, as we near the end of Breast Cancer Awareness month, get to know your boobs.  If it has been awhile, call your doctor and have them check your boobs or schedule a mammogram if necessary.
