It's almost my one-year anniversary of my cancer diagnosis. During
the 7 weeks of my recovery time after surgery, much of the time was spent in crocheting myself a “cancer
survivor” afghan in the color of my cancer, peach. Did you know each type of cancer has a “theme
color?” Most people see pink ribbons for
cancer awareness because pink is the color for breast cancer, but there are
many others. To see a list of the
various cancer colors, visit
Working
on my cancer survivor afghan was very therapeutic as I waited the long 7 weeks until
my first follow-up appointment when I was to receive the final test results from
my surgery. Conclusion? Grade 1 only, no sign of cancer in any of the
lymph nodes, meaning no radiation nor chemotherapy! Am I the only one who gave her oncology surgeon
a big hug upon receiving that news? (Probably
not!)
