Day 33: It feels like yesterday I went in for my double mastectomy...the start of a long road of treatments for breast cancer. They say the day you have the cancer removed is like your birthday...the day you get to reset the clock. And then begins the countdown to the 5 year mark when the possibility of recurrence is dramatically reduced. Today I am very thankful to be celebrating my third birthday. Life is full of its ups and downs, but I have been extremely lucky to have family and friends who stood by me and helped me feel whole again. I chose this picture, not so much for the boobs but for the lack of a head, for I do still feel like sometimes I am missing that part, perhaps misplaced on occasion. Nonetheless, today is a very happy day for me to celebrate life and survival. Thank you to all those who helped me make it to this point, even though I have lost my head in the process!
