1 year since diagonsis/ what a journey

[LAURIE]

Today is exactly 1 year from the day that I was diagnosed. I remember that I was calling the doctors office about four times a day for days wanting the results. The nurse kept on making excuses for the doctor but finally did tell me that the results were sitting on his desk and did not know why he had not called me yet. (he apologized for not calling me earlier, but admitted that he had a hard time calling me because he was so upset) Then I finally got the phone call. I was at the post office when my cell phone rang. When he told me, I ran out to my car screaming. My husband was waiting for me in the car. I remember that I was shaking so bad. I did not know anything yet, just that I had breast cancer. I did no know that day what a journey I would be put on. Every day after that was a big suprise.

It was a couple of months after that when I found this great board and you all. What a journey this has been so far. I have grown, learned a lot about myself, cried so much and also learned to keep my chin up. I am still very scared about what is to come but will fight this journey all the way. THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT THIS PAST YEAR.
