Celebration (Anniversary): September 2012 marks eight years since I was first diagnosed with cancer. I am healthier now that I ever was before, I am happier and enjoy life to its fullest! While I still have some minor side affects they remind me that I won and life is precious and not to be taken for granted. Every day is time for another celebration!
