Celebration
Removing "Cancer Sucks" wristlet.
On Christmas Day I cut the "Cancer Sucks" wristlet from my wrist along with those my family members were wearing. I tied them to five teal balloons my cousin and her daughter brought over and I released them saying, "never come back!" I was overcome with emotion and sobbed on my cousin's shoulder. I said, "It's over and she said, yeah, it's over." It was a beautiful moment.
Once I had my first-year check-up with my gyn/onc, I felt a renewed sense of hope and no longer wanted to wear the reminder of one of the most difficult times in my life. I want to truly move forward. No one knows their future and even though I have some pretty harsh statistics to deal with that is all they all.
