One year ago today, at this exact time, I was undergoing a biopsy of a mass in my left breast and lymph node. I was also scared out of my freaking mind. I appreciated all those that reached out and offered the most well-intentioned encouragements, saying "I am sure it's nothing to worry about". As a hopeless optimist, I wanted so badly to find comfort in their words but I couldn't.
I just knew.
I can't explain how or why I did, but I knew that life was going to change in a really big way, right then, right there, that day.
I wish I had been wrong but here I am, almost one year later. As much as I yearn for my very much more carefree, before-cancer self, I am better now than I have ever been.
