I always just say, "I hope so..." because that's something I don't know. I'm too superstitious to just say yes. Once your world gets rocked like that, it makes it a bit harder to be confident in the absence of things lurking within! One day you're fine, the next you have cancer. Maybe as I get further out, I'll feel more confident proclaiming myself cancer-free, but I don't know. <br /><br />On the other hand, I do consider myself a survivor - I survived a lot of crap and am surviving every day with this new body and the threat of a recurrence hanging over my head, regardless of whether I actually have any rogue cells left in me or not. <br /><br />I'm keeping my hair short. Besides that it's SO much easier to deal with, it kind of reminds me of what I've been through, and really, I'm proud of the way I handled it and that I came through it all as unscathed as possible.<br /><br />It's a lot to process - not like you're just DONE with cancer the minute you're done with surgery or treatments or whatever. Wouldn't that be nice, though?!Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493587849806403992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830812815803660398.post-86897066040573062062010-07-22T09:38:46.338-07:002010-07-22T09:38:46.338-07:00Really?

I think the thinking through of hair as symbol is really strong and I've never heard it before (cancer fan-fic not being my favorite fantasy genre).<br /><br />That said: cancer survivor cards.mbbatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03865970372978112220noreply@blogger.com
