"the threat of cancer isn’t really something i’ve given a lot of thought to in the past... i mean we all fight back those fears of “what if...” what if something is wrong, what if i am not good enough... what if something happens and i don’t live to see my children grow old... but when i had a mass in my thyroid, i really didn’t find myself thinking, “what if” so much. so when my surgeon gave me my biopsy results, i was really surprised. this isn’t supposed to happen! i’m healthy and young and I’m not supposed to have to worry about things like this. thyroid cancer is treatable, and better than many of the other cancers out there. but right now, to me, it is very very real. a real threat, a real fear. something that is really affecting my life, and something that could very well mean i will have to fight a little harder. something that could mean i will have to bear a little more, & especially to me, it means that i have to face some scary unknowns that i’ve never faced before. it is time to be strong, to take a deep breath, and to wait for the rain that is to come..."
waiting for the rain, by me.
