Today is my anniversary. I was diagnosed 4 years ago when I was having a lot of pain and I went in for surgery for the doc to remove what he thought would be a large ovarian cyst. It turned out the ovary was a 14cm tumor and it's been treatment and cancer, cancer and treatment ever since.
Four years is a long time. It's kind of a bitter-sweet anniversary. I've had 4 more years than if the tumor had just exploded and killed me in the first place, but it's also been 4 years of cancer and all the treatment and pain and loss of function that's gone along with it. Can't say I'm regretting the 4 extra years though.
I'm still going to Florida next week to see the launch. I try not to think about it - I get too excited. It looks like it'll be the last shuttle launch for a while - they'll probably make massive budget cuts to the space program to try and help with the recession.
Cheers
P.S. Happy Birthday to my little bro Tommy!
