    Cancerversary (11/26) came and went pretty quietly.  New Year's Eve 09 was my big emotional celebration.  I had a double mastectomy 2 days before Christmas of '08 and that NYE was one of the most miserable, depressing nights I can remember in my life.  I was layed up, scared to death and felt like there was a mountain in front of me that I had no choice but to climb.  That night I kept telling myself "if I can just get to next New Year's Eve I'm going to be ok."  Fast forward a year and I WAS ok.  We went to the beach house, got a bushel of oysters and a bottle of wine and spent an awesome 2 days with my family.

    I have 3 dates that stick in my head: diagnosis, 7/17/08; bilat mastectomy, 8/5/08; and the end of chemo, 10/31/08. I have found myself breaking out crying for he past couple days as the 2 year mark approaches. It was so hard!  I see my onc at the end of the month that also makes me think of the whole ordeal. I hope for many many more anniversaries for all of us...

    This feels like a big one today. I'm celebrating exactly as I described in my July 8th post on this thread. Probably immature, but it gives me great delight to say F you, cancer at least once a year.

    My seven year cancerversary is coming up on the 12/8.  I'm not planning anything special but I will be very thankful that another year has passed and I'm still here.

    Happy Cancerversary to all who celebrate!

    My first year - I cried.  I mourned.  I was quiet.

    This year, I'm back to work and I am more confident then ever.  I will be taking the day off work and going to the spa.  (after my scheduled mammogram!) :)
