Two years ago today I had my second breast cancer surgery. That led to the finding that it had spread to my lymph node. And that led to the decision to go into chemotherapy treatment. And that led to (among other things) going bald and coming back grey.
Considering the alternative, I wouldn't have missed a moment of it.

First, I want to congratulate you on your anniversary.
Second, I want to thank you for chronicling your experience in your blog. I was told of your blog by my sister, a dietician at Winchester Hospital that you met. She told you that my DIL had just been diagnosed with an aggressive breast cancer and you recommended that she read your blog. Well Amy couldn't emotionally get through it at the time but I read every word and found it very helpful in helping her through the chemo process. Today she is 2 weeks post double mastectomy and doing well. The pathology report found no live cancer cells. So we now can move on thanks in part to your help. Thank you.

Thanks for writing, Carol. Dave and I have been thinking about your DIL and hoping things were going well for her. It's a hard road, there's no doubt. I'm thrilled to hear the good news that there were no live cancer cells found post surgery. Tell her that when she's ready, I'd love to meet her. Maybe we can lift a glass and toast the blessing our mutual fortune, our wonderful families, and the fabulous heath care professionals who have taken such good care of us.
