Happy, happy birthday to me!
Tomorrow I celebrate my 24th birthday, and also 2 years of my cancer being in remission. In the midst of all of the chaos that is currently my life, I am still taking the time to step back and appreciate this. I definitely don't feel like I'm 24 years old--where has time gone? I am so thankful to be celebrating another birthday, and to be able to say that I'm still cancer free! I am blessed in so many ways that I can't even begin to list them. My family, friends, classmates, professors, oncologists, surgeons and therapists played important roles in my journey, and I am so thankful for this. I have been asked many times over the course of my life, "If you could go back in time and change something about your life, would you?" I usually didn't know how to respond to this question, because maybe it would be cool to go back and undo bad decisions or bad experiences. I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and now I know how...
