Today is the 3rd anniversary of my diagnosis, and I am one of the lucky ones so far. In fact, life is so normal that this anniversary kind of sneaked up on me.

My breast cancer experience will always be part of me, and there are physical effects that have lingered, mainly fatigue. I don't have the stamina that I used to. But I have a full, happy life and am grateful to feel as well as I do. I look back on my treatment decisions and have no regrets.

I know everyone's experience is unique and I am better off than many. One thing this experience has done for me is that I "live in the moment" a lot more, I don't take things for granted, and I don't stress over meaningless stuff anymore (not much, anyway). I know that my wonderful life could change at any time – whether it's cancer recurrence or something else entirely – so I appreciate what's in front of me each day.

Anyway, I just wanted to mark this anniversary with others who "get it". I wish you all peace in your journey.
