    It's something I never thought would happen although I was aware that I wanted to prevent it didn't hit me that it would be reality that I needed another biopsy because something showed up abnormal on my mammogram. This episode is about my shock and disbelief about the potential of another cancer haven't really ever thought of myself as a two-time cancer survivor, but it is a possibility so I share my thoughts and feelings in this episode.

  • 59. How Breast Cancer Robs me of my Future

    59. How Breast Cancer Robs me of my Future
    Sep 19 2025
    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.
