One year ago today, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Time goes by so fast. It's hard to imagine that just a few months ago I was in agonizing pain from chemotherapy. My energy levels are still low, but they're higher than during treatment and they're increasing every day. It's a privilege to celebrate my one year survivorship on a tropical island in Thailand, I feel so blessed. I just hope the cancer won't recur and I get to live a long and healthy life. Those are my wishes for 2012 and the years thereafter. Merry Christmas everyone!
