It's occurred to me that there are days that I don't really want to write about cancer much any more. I mean, I am dealing with the fact that I HAD cancer.
Today is the day after the anniversary of my first chemo treatment. A year ago I was just beginning to find out what it means to be a cancer patient. Today I know full well what that means. Now that it's been a full year since my first treatment, and 8 months after my last one ... well, I think that means that I am now officially a cancer SURVIVOR. And as such, I think it might be a good idea to start focusing on living that. This isn't to say that having had cancer will not somehow permeate my writing, my thoughts, my everyday life. But, today, I don't want to focus on the cancer, I want to focus on the living, the life after cancer and cancer treatments.
Today marks a new, New Reality.
