“Two years ago today I was diagnosed with cancer. Two years of riding an Adrenalin high from surgery to surgery to surgery, appointment to appointment. Two years of sitting in anger and grief and working through every emotion. Two years of shattered confidence and building myself back up, finding things I enjoy doing and letting go of things I can no longer do. Two years of being loved. Thank you. I didn’t need a life change. But I do think breast cancer made me respect and admire my body far more. Do I dare say that I think I even like my body now? I might even like myself! I could, however, go without having to explain to my daughter each week why I don’t have ni***es! Here’s to many more years cancer free! 🍾 “Good morning, Don’t cop out. You crawled from the cancer to land on your feet. Are you crazy to want this? Even for a while.”-Meg
