Saying It Out Loud

I have breast cancer. I wasn't going to say that out loud but some people have to be told and so it is out there now. Tomorrow I have surgery, a partial mastectomy; the follow up will be radiation. I am a very lucky woman, the cancer I have is contained in a small area and the doctor said that if I had to have cancer, this is the cancer to have because it is not fatal.

The reason I didn't want to tell anyone about the cancer is that I am afraid to test my luck. It feels as if I had kept it to myself I would be safe for sure. Now that everyone knows I am a little afraid that my good luck will end. Silly, I know but there you have it.

There is always hope.
