What did you do for your cancerversary? I'm thinking of buying a cake with those horrible words on it, then slicing through it and stabbing it! (ooo, still in anger phase?)

For my 10th cancerversary we
For my 10th cancerversary we went on a Carribean cruise with another couple. I have now been 23 years since my diagnosis. We will have to do something really special for my 25th. Maybe make an ugly pinata with cancer written on it and beat the tar out of it!0 -
The day I realised I had
The day I realised I had cancer was 5 days before I was told by the doctor. I was driving home and was listening to a very beautiful song that is filled with joy and longing. I had an image of bombs dropping and in the spaces where the bombs dropped very beautiful and brightly coloured flowers were popping up. Nothing could keep these flowers down, no matter how many bombs dropped. It was a very bitter sweet moment, a veil of naivity had just been removed and I knew that even with the cancer, there are moments of incredible beauty, even more beautiful than before because they happen in between the bombs dropping.
I would like to celebrate this, that is the recognition that no matter what happens in life there are moments of incredible beauty and I never want to forgot that. Thanks to the cancer for giving me the opportunity to sink deeper into my soul.
I like the idea of a cake, a really good chocolate cake and a bottle of champagne. Dang I haven't been able to really have a good drink in months (not that I drink much at all). And lazing on a warm beach ......a real vacation that I have not been able to have since the diagnosis last year.0 -

My cancerversary isn't here yetI think I will celebrate it with a nice quiet dinner with my loving husband. And, I am not for sure which date I will celebrate. I don't think I want to "celebrate" the day I heard those 3 horrible words. So, maybe I will celebrate the last day I had rads. That was such a wonderful, touching day with my rads oncologist and all of the techs. Even the patients in the lobby made it a great day for me. Applauding as my hubby carried me out after my rads oncologist rang the bell for me. It was awesome.
I hope that all of you have a good and happy cancerversary whenever you celebrate it. I celebrate life everyday. I feel blessed to have gotten thru all that I did. I wish it hadn't of happened, but, it did and I am movingggggggggg on.
I like what someone wrote on here, and, I wish I could give them the credit.
It was "Cancer doesn't own me....I own Cancer." I always liked that.

I celebrate mastectomy when tumor was removed. It is personal. On the date of discovery of my lump I reflect on my life and how I have changed since I have had it.
Yes, we celebrate life everyday.
