This pink ribbon stuff really makes me think. It wasnt all that long ago when pink ribbons for being worn for me. In my not so distant past this time of year all the beautiful colors and leaves meant nothing to me. I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Unless youve ever had the Big C associated with your name Im sure you have no idea the absolute terror that strikes your heart. First thought was for my son I wanted to live to see him become a man. What would my husband do alone raising a small boy . I was with a friend that day at work she was always amazed as I received the news over the telephone directly from my doctor this single tear slipped down my cheek as I got very quiet and listened. My response was how do we get this. She always marveled how quiet I became and how the warrior came out. It was one of the most hardest fight of my life not knowing. I went to Phila. for surgery came home to recover and started treatments on a daily basis I made friends at on Cology that I will never see again because they didnt make it. Some days I feel guilty just because I did . if you are ever sitting in oncology booth watching small children getting chemo. IV I came home crying more times than not because I knew some of them were not gonna make it. Theres so much a person with cancer is willing to do to survive there so many things the people that have not have cancer dont know . Theres so many details so many things that run through your mind the look on my husbands face the look on my boys face. The story is I survived I had people around me when they asked how could they help I just said please make sure my son and my husband are fed I knew I wouldnt be capable I had amazing people come and handle that for me. What I ask today is even if you dont like me or dont know me put on a pink ribbon and wear it proudly for anyone whos ever had cancer
