Kvetching
Surviving breast cancer was a great gift. I was grateful and I knew for a while how important it is to care of myself, to do my best and not worry about the rest. Now, four years out I am back to old, bad habits. I can't believe that I am not taking care of my overall health, that I'm letting worries about money, work, retirement, etc. get to me. Not only did I have BC, but I had a dangerous BC, and it was discovered by coincidence. I got a big break! I can't believe I'm not taking good care of my second chance! Thanks for letting me b--ch and complain.
