7 month cancerversary

7 months ago I received my diagnosis.

Everything has changed. I have changed.

I don't know what else to say. Happy anniversary?

I don't need or want congratulations. I want to not have cancer.

I cried so many times, until I thought I would drown in my tears.

7 months feels like a lifetime. I've grown older and more self-aware. I've become contemplative. Everything is different, every thought is different, tainted by the reality of cancer.


7 months feels like only a moment, ephemeral and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Here's to 7 more months!
