This hangs in my closet as a daily reminder to "kick ass!"
Cancerversary is a real term. It's a specific date or time a person uses to commemorate their cancer journey. It could be when a person finishes chemotherapy or radiation, or when a tumor was removed, or the date of their diagnosis. The beauty of it is: you choose.
My cancerversary is October 23. This is the day my surgeon removed a 4 cm tumor with clear margins from my left breast! Yes, I did chemotherapy and radiation following surgery - as insurance to kill any rouge cancer cells floating around in my body - but as far as I am concerned, I was cancer free on October 23, 2008.
So..Happy Cancerversary to me, Happy Cancerversary to me, Happy Cancerversary, dear Wendy, Happy Cancerversary to Me!
