My Cancerversary: A Day That Lives in Infamy

I'm observing an anniversary: my 20 year anniversary of this awful cancer journey.  I remember it well: Our office Christmas party was in an hour. I was shrugging into my party bra, adjusting it, when I found the lump.  There it was, in my left breast, just under the hand that use to adjust the bra; it was about the size and shape of a small grape.

Where did that come from? A wash of concern; a moment of fear. And so it began. From that moment on, I have been in battle.

This cancer journey that has now become the fight for my life. I can now count four cancers, some 10 or so different instances, a journey from early Stage I to Stage IV metastatic -- it has begun to blur. But I am here to tell you about it.

I always remember the date, because it is the date that so many of consider infamous: the date of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The date I found my cancer. Twenty years ago, today.
