in Breast Cancer #1
I had been at work for about half an hour this morning when suddenly my boss and 2 co-workers came to my desk with flowers and small, pink, heart-shaped cakes, saying "Happy Anniversary!" For a brief moment I had no idea what they were talking about and then it hit me, one year ago today I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I didn't know that 2-10-10 meant anything to them! They made me feel very appreciated and special. They said I have no idea what an inspiration I am to others. Their calling me a trooper and a real warrior almost made me cry. I can go back in my mind and remember wondering if I would see another Christmas or my kids birthdays! Is it even possible that it's been a year?!

Just wanted to share this because it made me feel so good! You know, there are a lot of people out there who really care about us. BUT, just like us, they don't always know exactly how to say it. God bless.
Marsha

    Good for them
    I think you are a class act and I'm often inspired by you. You cheer people on, share your knowledge, and you don't complain (even though I imagine you have plenty to say:)

    I'm glad they made you feel loved and special. I'm also glad your chemo is working so well.

    Go, fight, win!

    Well that just proves what a sweet person you are and what a great group you work with!!! Sometimes people can just overwhelm you with goodness instead of all the Junk we see on TV or read.
