I've been in some form of treatment, surgery, testing, hospitalization, blood transfusions continuously for 3.6 years, not just 7 weeks like most, and had 5 recurrences, having to go through all the same anxiety, doctor visits, testing, waiting, and treatment, each and every time. I go to two, sometimes three doctors a week, blood tests, just as often, and this has been going in since Oct 2009. If I put everything down in my signature, it would take the whole page. I've been in fight mode ever since diagnosis, actually before that growing up lol, but I can say, I will never accept cancer did anything to improve my life. I'm happy being unhappy. Cancer made an enemy for life with me, and I don't turn the other cheek to get slapped again, or accept what cancer did. I'm the type to get revenge, and in this case, living is the best revenge.
