I like to pretend that breast cancer isn't part of my life, and most of the time I don't really spend a lot of time thinking about it. Sure the scars from the mastectomy burn brightly but after I put on my t-shirt, admire my now flattened stomach from the reconstruction...poof, it's out of my mind.

Until the dreaded tests. One which is tomorrow...my favourite one: MRI time at Mt. Sinai.

No wonder I'm agitated, it's not just pms after all.

Wish me luck.

Wow. I had no idea. My first reaction is sheer admiration and relief for your having made it through such an ordeal. I'm sure it's lent you so much perspective on life — something I think many people lack these days.

Hopefully the tests will pass quickly without too much dreadedness. I send you happy thoughts and wishes in the meantime. Reward yourself with something lovely afterwards :)
