YEAH!!!!! TODAY IS THE DAY

Today represents the first day of the rest of my life. Seven years ago I found out I had breast cancer. Six years ago today, I started Herceptin for mets. I am so blessed to be here. Less than 18% of women with my cancer get to live 5 years. Although with more targeted therapies, I am hoping to see more. I miss my dear friends Mindy, Marie and Karen. They all died young with children yet they so inspired me to keep going. They are rarely far from my thoughts.

Every year, I try to do something new on this day. This morning my mom and i are going shopping. I never would of made it through all this with out her love and support. Dear sweet hubby works late every Thursday but surprised me,he told his boss he has to leave early today. We are going to dinner at a restaurant we both have always wanted to try. My son is off school tomorrow so he is sleeping over mommom's. Woo Hoo date night.

I told my friend yesterday, that I wouldn't change anything. Cancer has been a curse but been a blessing. I am stronger, happier and have more of an appreciation for things.

Thanks for reading
