A friend of mine was diagnosed with breast cancer, few knew about the extreme battle she was enduring. Today, she comes out in such a courageous way. Sharing this with love and prayers for those who also fight for health every day.
That was pretty awesome. What freaked me out is that she was wearing the same robe that I often curled up in, in the months past my dx. We all see things a little differently and in my world I see cancer as part of who I am, but it's not an unhealthy way to think b/c I have changed a lot since I got this and mostly in positive ways--I am living life much more freely and with fewer apologies than I ever did before and I love that. I do more of what I want to do and less of what I have to do and I love that too. I would never wish this away. What I loved about her story is how great her family is and how they supported her--no man could have said a better thing at a better moment than her husband did.
