You just want a day without breast cancer hanging over your head, a day when it doesn't exist in your immediate life. I still wish for that, but now i have my own scars, different from yours, but scars still the same. I cant take off my shirt without doing a self exam daily and think how lucky i am in all ways. Today a fellow breast cancer blogger passed away from metastic breast cancer. I didnt know her, just her writings but it hit me just the same as if i did know her personally. Loss of her for her family and loved ones, loss of another woman to breast cancer, and the loss of every woman with breast cancer's innocence in life. It hangs over me and with me everyday like luggage you cant get rid of. It breaks me down, but shows me my personal strength. Im so grateful for everyday i have and that i can plan for my future, plan on my kids someday having their own kids and being a grandmother to them. Your not alone and please anytime you want to talk im here for you. <br />Veronica, boobiewednesday.comShimmer418https://www.blogger.com/profile/10105357184107438395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267156938787266923.post-38171470556116693772012-01-31T20:29:31.297-06:002012-01-31T20:29:31.297-06:00Melissa,
Don't ever forget even in your weakes...Melissa,<br />Don't ever forget even in your weakest moments you are so much stronger than even you see. You are an inspiration to me even in those weak moments.

Cancer can suck it. <br /><br />This is sa major change. and I know you don't need me to validate your choices or give you permission on anything, but I am so sorry that you have had to go through any of this. <br /><br />I know it is scary as all hell right now, but I hope after a little while, the further away you can get from these months, the good will start to outweigh the bad. <br /><br />In any case, as scary as it is, I am glad you're waking up to how strong you actually are. You may be terrified, not wanting to go through any of this, hating every second of the changes this is making in your life. But you're here and you're going to be here. To me, that counts most of all.<br /><br />F cancer.madonnaearthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02230335678308926314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267156938787266923.post-35663205929853565862012-01-29T13:59:41.353-06:002012-01-29T13:59:41.353-06:00*Hugs*
I get the freaking out and the realization...*Hugs*<br /><br />I get the freaking out and the realization that things are going to change the fundamental way that you experience your body. Having something alter the landscape of your body is pretty radical and is rough to deal with if you want it to happen. Just know that there are people who may not share the details but certainly the fundamental experience you are going through.

And I promise, every typed hug comes across.

I don't know what that number is, but I know that EVERY. TIME. I type any of them... it's not enough. Those words and virtual gestures aren't enough to explain, they aren't enough to really communicate how much love I have pouring out to you, and how much I wish I had a magic wand that would take it away for you.<br /><br />That said, I'm still sending hugs and mojo, and I feel the need to tell you (though I'm sure you know this already on an intellectual level) that it's okay and even necessary for you to let out that fear and vulnerability. It's okay to feel small and let those around you be the big strong protectors for a little while, even if it's just for a couple hours once in a while. It's okay to be scared and have worries even when you know inside that you've made the best choices you could and you don't want to change them. It's all okay. Every feeling, emotion, worry, and errant thought is Yours, and it's Real, and that makes it Valid and it Deserves your attention and most importantly YOU Deserve to have the safe space Andy and your other loved ones provide for you to Express ALL those feelings as much as you Need to.<br /><br />love and hugs to youCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126322605941017314noreply@blogger.com
