A year ago today my life changed…
At around 3:00 pm I received a call from my doctor-asking if I was someplace we could chat on the phone. I told him I was driving and he encouraged me to pull over and park the car. Looking back I knew something was up (thanks to a federal law I had already gotten an email with my results the night before but clearly didn’t understand what it mean).
My doctor told me I had cancer-but they weren’t sure where it started. My brain mri showed numerous Mets. We all know how the story continues….Stage IV lung cancer, but the good kind. The stats aren’t always in my favor…but I feel like my attitude and support system help me keep things in my favor.
Cancer is the most humbling experience. It shows you who will be there for you. It has helped me meet new people and friends. And slowly showed me who and what I needed to let go from my life. It has changed my entire outlook on everything.
Cancer has been my biggest challenge, battle and fear. But this last year has also taught me my fight isn’t over until I say it is. And I’m not ready for it to be over!
