Its been more than a year since I finished my treatments for breast cancer. I am on Tamoxifen though. I have been trying out different things that I never thought I would be interested in before  and I am learning about some news things I like. I used to be a freelance writer and I would love to write a story on my battle with cancer or an article but not sure where to begin. I know that the yonger generation ages 18-40 seems to be the forgotten generation when it comes to cancer treatments as dr's can't answer anything about our concerns or worries.

 

I have someone special in my life that I got to know a year ago and we got to meet in person in Aug. It went well. I met him through a dating website for people that have had cancer. Things are going well with us and I am just wondering where do I go from here? You see the thing that complicates matters is that he lives in The States and I live in Canada. We love each other and we are hoping to eventually get married. I am just a bit nervous about all the paperwork and all involved that comes with being able to go there. I have lived my whole life in Canada, I have never lived in the states. Its a big step for me and I wondered how I go for it without being so nervous about it. I know that fighting cancer does take alot of courage so this shouldn't worry or scare me but its something new for me and I am not sure how to continue to take these big leaps and bounds with this relationship. I would really appreciate it if anyone has any advice they can give me about this. Thanks so much, emeralds69

I had a scare where I thought I had cancer again but thankfully my biopsy showed it was benign, which was a big relief. I got a clean bill of health just before christmas and that was the best gift that I could have asked for. Now I am trying to figure out how to get back into the swing of things. My life has changed tremendously in the past 18 months or so. I wondered if the fear of the cancer coming back ever goes away? I also wonder how to figure out what the new normal so to speak is for me. I would love to write about my experience with cancer but there are so detalis that I don't really remember as I didn't keep a journal. I don't know where to begin. Any thoughts or input on that? I would love to hear your thoughts.
