UNEXPECTED JOURNEY BEGINS

The word no one wants to hear. CANCER. I heard it.

Sometimes life dishes out some surprises, mine came at the beginning of the year... losing a friend to breast cancer was incredibly sad and shocking. All the more so because she was only 41 years old.

It prompted me to do a self-check, and there it was - a lump on my breast.

I knew in my gut that something was wrong! Tests confirmed I had breast cancer, and so my unexpected journey began...

This will be my journal as I travel my unexpected journey, as I grow and learn more about myself than I thought could ever be possible.

This is where I will share my musings with family and friends, and hopefully they in turn will share in this journey with me.

I don't know what to expect from this journal, just like life - it'll be a surprise!
