The picture above makes me think of what the inside of my mind must look like right now. Since being diagnosed, all I think about is CANCER, and then the associated other things that go with it. Oh, sometimes other thoughts squeak in...God, family, work, friends, etc. But CANCER always seems to take back over and to do so very quickly.
I have so much on my mental "to do" list, but stopping CANCER from dominating my thoughts is the first thing I need to do. And I know I'll be able to, because it's still new, and fresh, and difficult. But I don't like CANCER having such a big part in my life, the biggest part of my life. I need to be someone living with cancer, not having CANCER controlling my life.
I'll get there. It's a hell of a long road, but I'll get there. I'm too strong and have come through too much in my 43 years to let one word rule me. So screw you CANCER, and go back to the small letters you are. I will live with cancer, but I won't let it be first in my life.
You're right, Kate.. you are way too strong! I know you will not only kick cancer's ass, but you will also find a way to do so while keeping it from screaming it's ugly name at you in all caps. Love you, Mama!!!
