About this listen

After having a history of breast cancer, it makes you think about future dates differently. It may be that before I had cancer I thought about the next year's Christmas or birthday and hoped that everything would be the same as it is now. Definitely after the breast cancer diagnosis, when a holiday or in my case, planning a trip for next summer, comes to mind, I think to myself, and sometimes out loud to my family, " I hope everything's OK and the cancer is never back at that tome.". I also think about how I better just get things done that I really want to do because next year or two years later might be the longest timeline I should count on for some of the small stuff that might mean a lot for family and traditions that we experience in our lives. This episode talks about how this is a problem, in that you never know what the near future (like next summer) brings. Those unhelpful thoughts accidentally creep into my head even though I've said I want to forget about all that's been happening related to breast cancer ( since being diagnosed). You can probably relate to feeling as if the cancer robs you of your future if you have had a diagnosis of breast cancer. Just know that you're not alone and we have to make our dreams reality today, tomorrow, and every day after that.
