That's not exactly something to celebrate, so I don't really want to think of it as a "cancerversary". However, after 365 days of kicking cancer's ass, beginning with the early days of devastating emotions and countless tests after diagnosis, through the physical discomfort, pain and sickness of eight chemo treatments, surgery and finally six weeks of radiation, the fact that I am getting stronger and healthier is worth celebrating.
I made it through this past year one difficult day at a time. With the help of my incredible team of doctors and the amazing family and friends who continually have my back, I plan to kick cancer's ass for a long time to come.

(In case you're wondering why the blog posts don't reach 365 yet, it's because I started the daily posts the day I started chemo, which wasn't until the end of August.)
