I just celebrated my 48th birthday, a birthday I did not believe I would live to see. Instead of dying of cancer, I've survived and thrived. I've been ecstatic all week. 50, here I come!
I understand now why we celebrate birthdays. There's no guarantee any of us will see the next one. Birthdays are an achievement! We should use them to reflect on the past year and count our blessings. Every day is precious.
The second anniversary of my diagnosis of aggressive, fast-moving Stage 4 Breast Cancer is in 2 weeks. Instead of quickly dying, I'm still here 2 years later and doing just fine! There's no end in sight for me now. I'm going to have a party on that anniversary.
I am so grateful for the help I've received that has been instrumental in my survival. I wouldn't be here without my wonderful oncologist, Fred Kass. He is amazingly smart, wise and kind. Anthony Kar, my outstanding acupuncturist, has saved my life as much as Dr Kass has. He has immeasurably improved my quality of life as well. He fixes every injury and chemo side effect. The combination of Traditional Chinese Medicine with standard Western medicine is what has saved my life. I strongly recommend acupuncture!
I thank all of my family and friends for caring about me and praying for me and being there for me.
I dedicate my life, however much time I have left, to spreading the word about the interventions that have saved me from quick, certain death from cancer, so that others can live.
