I was diagnosed with breast cancer on October 23, 2007. Ironically, I had an appointment with my oncologist today, October 23, 2008. I will see him every 3 months for 1 year. After that, it will be once a year forever. He is a young doctor (38 years old). He and I will see each other for a long long time :)
When I was driving to his office this morning, I had a clear flashback of the day I was diagnosed. I couldn't even imagine how I would be a year after. Now, here I am! Am I a different person than a year ago? Yes. I have missing body part. I have a big scar. My hair is very short. Am I a better person? Yes. I know what's more important in life. I'm more gracious for what I have everyday.
I wonder how I will be next year, 5 years later or 10 years later. Can I be who I wanna be? I sure hope so.
