Recalling the past 6 months

I have recently had the opportunity to share with other women my experiences with cancer and surgery. There a lot of emotions that come with this - deep sadness for what they are about to endure; excitement to meet a fellow patient; and draining for me to recall those moments. I read some of my old blogs and journal entries and saw how much I spoke about hope and grace. There are days now when I forget about the hope I once had. My mind starts drifting to the fears of what lies ahead. In trying to help a friend, they have caused me to see what got me through this.
