I was told I had cancer on March 26, 2014. The details of the diagnosis (the clinical stuff) came the next day and so did my first blog post here. This year will mark 5 years since my diagnosis. I have mixed emotions about this. Of course, I’m thrilled to be here but this milestone also comes with some anxiety. That may sound a little weird so I will try to explain. Think of it like a marathon. You’re running the race, you’ve been running for a long time and you can see the finish line in the distance. It’s getting closer and closer and you’re just hoping that you don’t collapse before you get there. The five year mark is just an arbitrary number but it’s a milestone nonetheless. I’m looking for smooth sailing and an uneventful March. To minimize my anxiety levels, I’ll be doing everything I can to keep busy and keep my mind off of it. That may lead to blog posts. Oh boy!

Gotta run, back soon!

Love to all,
Andee
