While the many questions I have regarding “what comes next” have yet to be answered. There is one answer I know for sure. I once again have breast cancer.
It was only yesterday when I received the call confirming my greatest fear. Same breast and same type of cancer. “High Grade Ductal Carcinoma in SITU.” The fact that it’s in SITU is great because it means it’s in it’s early stages. Nevertheless, it’s been an exhausting 24 hours as you can imagine. No matter how busy I’ve been at work and with my personal life, it’s a topic I find hard not to think about. Just the thought of another surgery makes my stomach churn.
Life was going so well you know? I had just received a promotion and been accepted into the mentorship program I had applied for. It frustrated me more than anything how intrusive this disease has always been. Not that it’s something you are ever ready for. It’s just always taken place during a time in my life where major changes are occurring making it so difficult to enjoy those special moments.
I wasn’t even sure if writing about this now was the right thing to do but, my goal was to write about the good and the bad. It’s about my life, my take on it and my hopes of helping others that have or are sharing my journey. So if you are going through your own personal journey, know that I am here. We are sharing this moment together and together we will pull through this. We are going to Kick Cancers Butt!!!
Stay tuned…

I know exactly what you are talking about. Hung in there, cancer doesn’t define any of us who have to go through this journey. Keep strong, be courageous, stay afloat. Live one day at a time.

Thank you so much Janet for your kind and encouraging words. It means so much to me. It’s been a week of, “keeping it together”, that has me so worn out. I’m forgetting things, sleepy, and find myself feeling angry and hopeless all at the same time, even when I have many other reasons to be happy. It’s the complete opposite of who I really am and it’s draining.
With Gratitude,
Elizabeth
