Journal entry by Christina Avlas —
This year went by so fast!
At this time last year I was nervously and anxiously awaiting my treatment for breast cancer to begin at age 34. I was injecting myself nightly with hormones in preparation to freeze my eggs. In 2018 I went through 18 weeks of chemo, 2 surgeries, 30 days of radiation, and will continue to receive Herceptin infusions until March 2019. I’m at that point where the struggles of treatment are becoming a distant memory.
I’m thankful every day that treatment was successful and that I am still here. I am so grateful to each of my doctors for the outstanding and compassionate care I received. I’m so happy I get to be “Titi” to my 2 nieces and will meet my 3rd niece in April! I’m excited to marry my best friend and can’t believe as of today we’ve been engaged for 1 year!
Life is so precious and is a gift. Take time to appreciate it and the important people that are a part of it every day.
Happy New Year!!
