Day 248

One thing breast cancer has made me grateful for is that I have made many amazing friends which I met through our common bond, voluntarily I contributed using my own experience and therapeutic skills to helping other young women diagnosed, I started paddling again which I had not done since Ranger Guides...different boat a Dragon Boat but that lead on to meeting more amazing women and 1st time in my life joining  a sports team and getting to represent State and country - nationally and internationally.

WOW that’s so not just 1 thing to be grateful for..................on the flipside though is I see a lot more losses, more friends diagnosed or re-diagnosed, many more tears shared as we talk, confront our own mortality and altered body image.

Was really grateful I got to spend a few hours with a friend late this arvo just out of hospital, 2nd time around. It was uplifting her spirits high, she looked great...gave me a bit of a wakeup call. But I did really enjoy our sense of human not sure if those that had not lost some breast would be too comfortable with....went for 10mins, 2hrs + later tears of laughter and hugs and of course looking at what was tits xo
