A new year, another new reality

Every day is a blessing and every new year is a gift.

I'm grateful to be two years out since my last chemo treatment and two years in to my Tamoxifen therapy. They say that most breast cancer recurrences happen within the first two years after the diagnosis and treatment, so I'm feeling a little closer to being in the clear. It's not that I think I'll ever get the big C again, but once you've wrestled it, you're always going to be a bit more conscious of its ability to show up unexpectedly. And you're always going to be grateful for every new day, every new year.

Happy new year to us all!
