But, anyway, one day I had an epiphany. I was getting ready to go out for a day at the pool and beach and looked in the mirror. I realized that I never lost my hair. Under the modest cover of a bathing suit, no scars show. I no longer have puncture wounds from needles and bruises from failed attempts at IV placements. I look healthy.
And as I marveled at this, I thought to myself: "None of these people know that I am a cancer survivor."
Did you read that? I said: "CANCER SURVIVOR!"
It just popped into my brain like it belonged there. And it does. I have made it. I finally feel like a cancer survivor. Go me!

HIP HIP HORRAY! HIP HIP HORRAY!
Guess you finally got to see what all the rest of us have been looking at -
A Gorgeous, Beautiful, Amazing Woman, whom by the way, beat the snot out cancer, in her spare time.
