I am going to try and blog less about these issues and focus more on my breast cancer journey only. It is good to keep a running record of all health issues, but this is not the place for it. I'm reflecting on my experiences and my blog today because I was offered a unique opportunity. I get to model at Glen Ivy as a survivor for breast cancer awareness month. They're providing breakfast, makeup, a bikini, a massage, and a free day at the spa for a few survivors. All they asked was for me to tell my story. I feel like this is a privilege I have unfortunately earned, and I am really excited to participate. I have really reevaluated my purpose for this blog, and although it has served as a great outlet for venting, I want to get my focus back on track.
I am a breast cancer survivor. I am not perfect. I am bitter. I am resentful. But, I am also thriving and surviving. Some days, for very brief moments, I even forget I went through this. I am sorry if you are reading this because you are a friend, loved one, or someone who has been recently diagnosed. I promise you that this too shall pass. Read my story starting from January 2011, and remember to never, ever, give up.
