When my husband decided to do a “check in” for my first chemo treatment, my initial reaction was- “Oh great, now the whole freaking world will know on Facebook.” Now that I have reflected on it, I think- “Oh great, now the whole freaking world will know on Facebook:” A couple of months ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Six months of treatment plus an additional 6 months of another I.V. drug and I should be good to continue to live my life to the fullest! Talking about it is great therapy for me and I hope that I can share some advice. -To all my girls out there. Go get your FREAKING mammograms! You know who you are M.K.:) Yes, they suck and are no fun. But I promise that all of the surgies,procedures, tests and needles, as well as the stress on your mental state because you do have cancer, are far “suckier” and hurt more than a mammogram. We have the technology- Worship the mammogram~! -If you aren’t of mammogram “age” then do a self check. Yes, it’s weird, but get to know the “Ta Ta’s”, or as my husband likes to call them, the “Knockers.” -Pick heavy things up and put them down. The next time our “box” has a “Bring a Friend” to try a CrossFit WOD I am calling you out. You know who you are. I have the cancer card and I will not be afraid to lower my standards to use it. Bottom line- Exercise! It is so good for the soul. -Lastly, but MOST important of all. Give Jesus, God and Prayer a try. Everyone at some point in their lifetime will receive devastating/sad/not so fun news. How you react to that news is up to you. As we say in the CrossFit world- “Suck it up Buttercup.” You may not receive the answers you want all of the time in prayer, but you will receive the answers that are right for you. I promise Thanks so much for all of the well wishes and prayers. Keep them coming. Now, go get your mammograms!
