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.

    I am just a 40 something married lady with kids who likes to ride gravel when life lets me.   Just so happens I was called into the Cancer Club on October 31, 2019.  Fought my fight with surgery, chemo, radiation, friends, family and lots of dark humor.   I find sharing my experience helps me.  Maybe it can help you.
