3 years ago today I heard those dreaded words

Let me be honest. I still freaks me out to think about. Knowing I’m cancer free doesn’t take away the how traumatic that was. Leading up to Jan 15, 2021, I had mammograms, ultrasounds, biopsies (yes multiple of all in less than a month!) I can’t tell you in the early days how many times I heard “it’s probably nothing”, “don’t worry”, from friends, family and even a doctor! I know people think they’re helping when they say that, it doesn’t help, please don’t say it to people.

So what can I tell you 3 years later? Get your routine screenings (women & men) I had multiple mammograms in a one month time frame and I promise it hurts waaay less than surgery.

I haven’t slept through the night in years, I wake up every day and go through every day with aches and pains. I’m thankful to be alive but I wish so badly for some sense of normalcy.

Cheers to another year 🍻 I’m looking forward to continuing the healing process, both physically and mentally.
