2005 was a very trying year for me. We received word that our office where I had worked for 9 years was closing in December. Turns out it was a blessing that saved my life.
Knowing we would lose our health insurance I decided to get a mammogram while it was still paid for. Never did I think on that October day I would hear I had cancer.\
I had a partial mastectomy in November and started chemo in January. I had chemo from Jan. to May and radiation July to October.
Never once did I look at my diagnosis as anything other than an illness I had to conquer.
I had 3 year old twin Granddaughters who doted on me like Mother hens. I babysat them 2 days a week.
They looked forward to coming to my house, spreading a blanket on the living room floor and having tea parties.
They truly were the best medicine I could have ever had.
I remain cancer free and we still have tea parties at the dining room table.
