Signs of Survival

July 8th, 2010

I plan more than one day at a time. When I plan in advance, I don’t have to add the caveat “assuming I’m feeling okay that day.”

People argue with me.

When I go out, I don’t get piteous looks from well-meaning strangers.

I can exercise for an hour without having to take a nausea break.

I only take 1 or 2 pills a day, not 30 or 40.

I have bad hair days.

My big cancer problem right now (besides my energy) is that I am having a hard time finding the right necklines to cover my radiation burn and flat(ter) chest.

    Love this. I fucking love this post.

    I cannot decide if I am surviving, enduring, or in the middle of it right now. I think all of the above.

    But I laughed at this post.

    LOVE YOU!!

    They say you are a survivor the moment you decide to do something to treat the cancer. So you have been and are one :) Yay :)

    Thriving today :)

    You are a survivor when you get up each morning, God Bless. We are all survivors in one way or another.
