Every time I learn of someone else diagnosed with breast cancer. I take it personally and it pisses me off. I wonder if that will get better with time, but knowing my personality I doubt it will. I'm only 4.5 months from completing treatment and 2 people that I know have also been diagnosed. Of course when I heard about their diagnosis I wanted to do a Vulcan mind meld and give all the information and experiences in my head to them. This of course is would be scary and ridiculous. But, what I remember is that the person undergoing treatment is driving the bus. Comfort in, dump out. I can give kind words and contact information and allow everyone to have their on journey like everyone allowed me to have. I can also send out those positive vibes that worked so well for me.
As I grapple with being on "the other side" I also found this to be helpful:
This is a hot pink t-hsirt from under armor titled Power In Pink. They donated money to breast cancer centers and charities (according to the tag). It is the first breast cancer clothing that I have bought myself. I wore it for my workout today. I wore it in support of everyone fighting. I know they are all fighters and this the best way I know to get the vibes out there.
No matter what the battle, I think this song is fitting.
