More than surviving

After my diagnosis with breast cancer last October, something strange happened.

Of course, at first my life took a downturn-- the shock of it all! That's not so strange.

But shortly after my surgery, I discovered that my life had gotten better.

At first I felt guilty and hesitant to share this feeling. Then I decided, why not?

So here it is, world: My quality of live is better after my cancer diagnosis. I'm not just surviving, I'm thriving. I'm not just "living with cancer," I'm a person with cancer, living!
