I'm always talking about how grateful I am for the things I have (because I am). When I was diagnosed, one of my first thoughts was, "I'm so glad it got me and not my husband, or worse, my kids." As terrible as it is to experience this, I can't imagine seeing a loved one go through it.

When I first diagnosed, ...

Awareness.
It was a word that meant very little to me this time last year, when I was just a woman who had experienced the pain of losing loved ones to cancer, but didn’t know first hand what it was like. It was just a word I spoke about in October, while wearing pink and donating money to Susan G Komen. I rooted for the women fighting the disease. I sat with them and commiserated while they were feeling down. But I didn’t understand. Because you cannot understand unless you go through it ...
