Just surviving can be an up-and-down experience.

I've often been told by friends and family that I have a positive outlook when it comes to surviving breast cancer. But I do have bad days as well.
I really believe that my life with cancer is a life worth living, a life worth fighting for and an adventure that really offers no other option.
But cancer is such an unjust experience, such a brazen and wickedly designed test for all of us who experience the havoc it creates. I must confess, my feelings about it change all the time. How I feel physically is responsible in large part for my wavering resolve. My mastectomy scar is often noticeably uncomfortable, even though nearly four years have passed since my surgery.
