cancerversary
Three years ago today I had my lumpectomy. I am very happy to be here and never thought i would be when I had my first onc. I also found out today that my 18 year old son and his girlfriend are going to have a baby. Sorta expected but still a shock. I'm sure I'll get used to the idea of having another grandchild and be happy about it before too much longer. I was 19 when I had my first daughter so I can't say much about that.And you all know how excited when my granddaughter Dilly was born.

Hi Juanita!
The only thing that I can think of better or as good as celebrating another great year of life would be to be a grandma again! I totally understand about you wishing they were older, but here it is. And they have a mom and grandmom to guide and love them through it! What a lucky bunch they are! Best wishes for millions more celebrations of life!
