anniversary dates???
What date do you start counting from - the date of diagnosis
or the date you finish your treatments? I don't know why, but
I have a hard time thinking of myself as a "survivor". I'm not able to say that I "had" cancer; I still say I "have" it. I could really relate to all
the posts about having trouble making plans for the future. I think it
might be because I was told my cancer is very aggressive and when the
tests came back node negative and I was happy about it, my surgeon
reminded me that it was "still very aggressive". I got the feeling she didn't want me to get my hopes up. Anyway, I really enjoy this site. It is very helpful.
