Happy Anniversary to Me!

One year ago today I was diagnosed with Invasive Lobular Carcinoma. Who knew that despite the mountain it would create in my life that it would present me with many gifts. Some of those gifts are: knowing that I am truly loved, a new hairdo, bigger boobs, a sense of gratitude that I can't even explain for each day, the release of fear that held me back, new adventures, new friends, clarity on what is not working in my life.

When I reminded my husband that today was the anniversary of my diagnosis he said "is that really a day you want to celebrate?". My answer to that is yes. Cancer changed me, it closed some doors and opened many others. My new and "improved" life is just beginning. I am a changed woman and I am grateful.

It's a great day to be alive.
Peace.
