I think that Angelina Jolie's decision to have profolatic mastectomies was brave. I know what she went through. It is a very hard thing to have your breasts removed. My only difference is that I had cancer in my left breast and didn't want to get it on my right. I would've rather have had the surgeries she did than have cancer and chemo/radiation. Treatment stinks. Then your done and everyone around you thinks all is back to normal. I will never be the same. Cancer changes you. I don't take things for granted, I don't let opportunities pass me by. I also worry daily about the cancer coming back. Any new pain or change brings on the cancer worries. Last night I was thinking, "Was the last year a dream? A nightmare?" It still doesn't seem real that I went through this. I feel very out of my skin. Life is a fragile gift. One that can disappear at any time.
