Its been a long year. After 8 months of fighting breast cancer, and almost 12 years fighting cervical cancer, I am finally on the upswing of things. I am going into my 6th round of radiation today. I have 22 more to go. I half expected to feel some sort of grand relief that this part of my journey is almost over. I feel almost normal. Not my before BC normal, just normal. I have no feeling of excitement, relief, joy, etc. I just feel like its another milestone in my life. I know I will have to be vigilant about my body for the rest of my life. I know I will never be 100% in the clear as far as cancer is concerned. Im okay with that. I am starting to get some hair back. Its coming in BLACK yall! lol. Its definitely not my natural blonde just yet. Yikes! My body will never be normal after everything it has been through with the surgeries (and I still have at least 2 to go through), 5 months of chemo, and now the rads. I will never be the woman I was before. And thats okay, too. I am a stronger version of the girl I left behind. I have a few more scars to prove I fought in this battle. But I fought. And so far, I am winning. Its okay. Im okay. And for today, thats good enough for me.
