Now what? Life after cancer treatment →
I guess it makes sense to call myself a breast cancer “veteran” instead of breast cancer “survivor”.  I like the sound of “cancer veteran” anyway.  =D

And the fight continues...
Last year, I wrote a post about my experience with breast cancer - the physical aspects, my emotions, my new perspective on life as well as fears.  My biggest fear is that I’d have to watch my family and friends go through what I went through.  And although I knew there was a possibility of the cancer coming back, I didn’t fear it.  I guess I never really thought about it.  I’m...
