Have to say, with one week away from surgery - I'm feeling pretty good! I'm glad the surgeon decided to wait - I'm glad I got a couple extra days to feel good and hang with my kids, husband and great friends! I'm still not so happy about having to have this surgery but if it is going to make me or at least get me closer to being cancer free than let the "fun" begin.
I haven't had much to report lately so I hope that's a good thing. I was told by a few people that I should try to write a little book, a documentary of sorts on my experience with breast cancer. There are many sites on the Internet that tell you about the disease and the tests and things like that but I haven't found anywhere that tells you the horrors and the good stuff that goes along with this long journey.
Would you read a book like that??
I ask that question a lot - who would be my "audience" - am I interesting enough in what I write in here to keep people interested. I'll tell you this - I would be totally honest and not sugar coat anything!!! I think people - not just people with breast cancer but people dealing with people who are going through this have a right - well a need to know what could happen. Granted - a few of my experiences may not be what everyone goes through - I can almost guarantee that, but I wish there was someone to tell me - or a book to read about what COULD potentially happen to me - so here i ask - is it a good idea?? Where do I even start?? I have a lot of things documented - not just in my blog but on calendars and other books so I can recall just about all of it - why, its an experience I really don't want to forget because if someone else I know has to deal with this - I want to be able to hold their hand and tell them the issues I had and be able to say - "Look at me now" , many years from now because I will be here many, many years from now so share I will :)
I do realize many of my experiences were not so warm and fuzzy but again, people have a right to know, I think "interviewing" the family would be a good idea too - I'm not the only one going through this. I think that would also be interesting for me - I really don't know what others have felt - fear, worry, anxiety - I now that - but what else - what are the thoughts!! Maybe I don't want to really know but I think I do and I think others would be interested to know they are not alone!!
On that note - thank you all for reading, listening and being there for me! I'm going to be strong and happy - I'll probably be in pain after surgery but I will soon be cancer free!! Prayers and happy thoughts are always wanted, needed and appreciated!!
Love and Peace - Keep Smiling :)
