But it wasn't long when I realized that, like writing about life with my special needs son, I was able to bring more awareness including our treatment options and the challenges we face. Plus I hoped that through my poor decisions (primarily to put myself too low on the priority totem pole, thus skipping that mammo order for nearly a year) that others would learn better. <br />In any case, I discovered that I could not write every day and that I was not always positive in my thoughts. Still, I think it's important to continue to share. Some people are so afraid of the unknown, just putting your story into words might help them to make better treatment choices. <br />You are right, next year will be amazingly different. But you will be so much stronger for having gone through this and conquering it. <br />TeresaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
