    I really wanted confetti to fall from the ceiling.

    I want a new word for "survivor". I'm open to suggestions. Conqueror? Where's Zen when we need her?

    I'm so glad that someone has found this helpful. If I hadn't known someone who went through it, it would have been way more scary, especially based on fictional portrayals of cancer which were mostly all I knew. I think my experience is pretty typical of early stage cancer, so, if you find a lump, don't freak out, but get it checked out sooner rather than later.

    And yes, Crankin. We'll be able to ride soon.
