I am so excited. I can't wait to go. It seems like yesterday I was there doing the survivor lap as a ten month survivor. It was so emotional, I get all choked up just thinking about it. Since last year I have really gotten involved with my support group. It will be nice knowing more people there. I am going to be selling some "Fuck Cancer" bracelets while I am there. I plan on winning lots of stuff from all the raffles.
In the past year I have lost two friends to cancer. Two friends that I knew from years ago, but became friends with because of cancer. So it sucks. One was Tony, a former coworker from Lipton. We became email buddies while going through treatments at the same time. The other was Phil, who happened to be my favorite professor in college. I met him at the support group. Also today I heard that one of the other mom's I knew from Cub Scouts just passed away from cancer. So that is why I have to get involved and help raise money so they will someday find a cure.
I must say that I along with my other pen pal Sophia are doing fine. Sophia and met also while undergoing breast cancer treatment. My friends in my support group are wonderful and it is good to hear what they have been through and what I am still dealing with are normal. Like the pain that I am having right now in my boob. It's going to rain and scars hurt when it is going to rain. I still can't believe I have four scars from one tumor. There is the tumor one, the one from the surgery drain, the one from where they removed my lymph nodes, my port. Wait that is actually two. One to put in and one to take it out. Boy does that feel good to be out.
I did finally get my genetic test results back. I do not carry the cancer gene. Which is a great thing! Must have been the smoking!
I must wrap this up now, I need to go find my survivor pin and sash, make a basket and some signs.
