Anniversary

Today is an anniversary.  It's the 2 year anniversary of my diagnosis.  I'll never forget that day.  It was early in the morning when my doctor's office called me and told me they wanted to have me come in to discuss the results of my biopsy.  It scared the hell out of me, but while I waited until it was time to leave for my appointment I did a lot of googling and convinced myself that I couldn't possibly have cancer - the statistics were on my side!

Two years later, after 3 surgeries, months of chemo, and weeks of radiation, it almost seems like it never happened.  That is, until today.  I'm having a bad boob day.  I rushed out of the house this morning and didn't notice (until I got to work, of course) that the combination of my bra and my shirt and my boobs looks awful!  I have to wear padded bras because my nipples would always show otherwise.  But a padded bra has a lot of structure to it and the shape of my breasts doesn't completely fill out the bra, so there's a void that kind of gets crushed.  If I wear the wrong shirt, you can totally see where the part of my bra is a little distorted.  I tried taking my bra off, but now I can see my nipples.  It's kind of funny, but a little annoying.  I have learned my lesson about looking in a full-length mirror before leaving the house for the day.

I also have another important anniversary coming up.  On Monday it is my and Rusty's fifth wedding anniversary.  I couldn't have asked for a better partner in life, and I look forward to many more years with my love.
