We've been on a roller coaster, but we're still going. I want to do something special next year for our big 10 year celebration, but can't decide what.
Of course today also marks 19 years since I was diagnosed with leukemia. It was so long ago and so many times I thought I was finally done being sick or damaged, until some other problem came up and was eventually traced back to the cancer, the chemo or the radiation. I think the last straw was being diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago - that was my final smack in the face. Ugh.
But I always acknowledge that I've had great doctors and care teams all along the way. I love my doctors like family and am thankful they have continued to treat me over the years. I'm especially thankful for my pedi oncologists for helping me transition to the oncologists and breast surgeon that I have now. Without them, I would have been lost trying to navigate this on my own.
19 years and counting...
