My secret goMy Stomach Is Building a Breast al or plan was to live forever. But life had other ideas. After a routine mammogram and follow-up biopsy, I got the news no one wants to hear: breast cancer. Specifically, DCIS, Stage 2, non-invasive breast cancer.Talk about a change in plans.I was devastated. The kind of devastation that doesn’t let you think straight. I found myself sinking into depression, lying in bed wondering if my best days were behind me, desperate for some sort of cure or miracle to make it all go away.At first, I stayed curled up in the fetal position, emotionally and metaphorically. But then, something inside me shifted. So, I did what I’ve always done when life gets hard: I started putting one foot in front of the other.Step by step, I began piecing together a plan—not just for treatment, but for my life moving forward. Cancer wasn’t in the plan, but it’s reminded me of something important: I don’t have forever. None of us do. So, instead of wasting time wishing things were differentBecause my new secret goal isn’t to live forever. It’s to live fully.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Lynn. Living fully while in the presence of any major illness is a perspective that opens the door for disease to leave. My belief, anyway. No expiration dates on me. After having a cancer diagnosis in 2003, I allowed myself to live as though I was going to, and I really think that is a key reason I am still here. Your decision to find your 'Whys' is an important one and will be a game changer as you go forward. Positive thoughts, hugs and love going your way. ✨🙏🙌🤗💖💞
