I have a confession to make- I have been feeling a little bit guilty lately. I have been doing some reading of some Cancer Journey blogs, talked to people who have gone through cancer, seen some pretty horrific pictures on the Internet of Cancer
The reason I am feeling guilty is because here in my own Cancer Adventure- life is really pretty good. So am I trying to figure out if that's because of my attitude OR because I only have "just a little bit of cancer". Maybe I have no idea what it's like to really have cancer. You can laugh (and let's knock on wood cuz I am very happy with my little bit of cancer and don't wish to have more than I do just to say I've been there- done that) but I do feel like a bit of a fraud saying I am dealing with cancer. Sure- there's a little lump in my right breast of abnormally dividing cells but it is really tiny and hasn't spread anywhere. Sure I am sporting a GI Jane hairdo- but that was my birthday present to myself and self inflicted I might add. Sure I am having Chemo treatments but that's just letting me reinact one of my favorite Vampire movies and nothing that I haven't been able to handle. Sure there are a couple days that I need a few extra naps and someone to bring me lunch and dinner and watch my kids but who can't use that once in a while? And for sure, my friends and I are having way too much fun with all our personal Cancer jokes and delving into the
I have been informed by my Life Coordinator however that saying I have just a little bit of cancer is like someone saying that they are a little bit pregnant. And apparentently "you can NOT be just a little bit pregnant"! LOL
For what it's worth though- I thank God everyday for my "little bit of cancer"!
