Freedom!

Sorry for the suspense. I was a bit distracted. The 'thorn' in my side is gone and I have a scar in the process of healing. The initial diagnosis of the lump is that there is no cancer detected - AMEN! I will see my surgeon late next week for final pathology review (standard procedure) and give her a big hug. Then tell her, I hope to only see her at coffee shops around town.

I have an awesome support system of family and friends. Thank you all! I am not strong without your support. I am 18 months out from being diagnosed with breast cancer and doing my best to keep healthy but vigilant about seeing my doctors and being aware of any changes that need attention.

Today is Independence Day and I reflect on how a small group of men from England fled their home to change their future and the future of their children. I declare my freedom from the disease of cancer and will do all I can to continue to be free from the chaos it causes me and those around me.

Blessing #538: Be honest with yourself and others. Give big hugs and mean what you say.

I love your guts!
