2015 was awful - my 55th birthday on January 17th brought with it my first major cancer scare of the year. After 8 weeks I was told I was fine and not to worry - it was menopause playing tricks on me. In May I had my annual mammogram, which led to a biopsy which led to a breast cancer diagnosis. Now that the surgery and radiation treatments are completed, I look back on it all like it was a bad dream, with a few bright spots; one being the amazing people I met along the cancer-path. The oncologists, radiation tech's and fellow patients who I have spent the majority of my time with over the past two months.
As I prepare to return to work this coming Monday, I pray that I can still remember what it is that I do for a living. The lovely med's I am on for the next ten years bring on memory loss as well as anxiety. There's your warning everyone.
Now lets get out there and make this a fantastic NEW year!

I just read through all of your blog posts from your recent journey. Something (not even sure what) made me think of you tonight and reminded me to check in on you since I bookmarked your blog before I deactivated Facebook a month or so ago.
You are SUCH a beautiful person, inside and out. You need to keep writing, always and forever! It certainly comes naturally to you. I laughed and I cried reading through your documentation of your experiences over the last year. Your humour is one of the most beautiful parts of you. But most beautiful of all is your honesty and that heart of yours!
It's so amazing to hear about all of the prayers and support offered to you during this time. A reminder of the pure good, heart and soul that exists in the world. I am so happy to hear that you rocked your radiation treatments and hope and pray that 2016 brings you health, peace and happiness.
Please keep writing and sharing. It is not only entertaining, but honest, raw, funny, heart-string tugging, and so real and refreshing! Happy New Year Cat from Bath. May you receive many blessings in the coming year. XO
