525,600 Minutes...

I love having an epiphany, don't you?

It dawned on me this past weekend that it had been 1 year since my journey with cancer began.

One year. Wow.

Now, technically, I wasn't diagnosed until April 5th, but the surgery which triggered all of the events was on February 25, 2011. A surgery and day that made all the difference.

So, a year? How do you measure a year? If you were the cast of RENT, you would do it in song.

If you're me, strictly referring to the cancer journey:

• 4 Surgeries
• 8 Chemo treatments
• 30 Radiation treatments
• Too many blood draws & doctors appointments to count

What I also find interesting about my year, is that I had this epiphany while traveling to a conference for young women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Exactly a year later.

Whoa.

The best number was the smallest:

• 1 more birthday for everyone I love.
