One of my co-workers asked me if I would be interested in speaking at her mom's small seminar that she puts together at her work place (it was at the old Heinz plant in downtown Pittsburgh). It was for NBCAM and about 25 gals signed up for it.
I was the first speaker of three and I was a little nervous but after about 5 minutes, I was on a roll telling my story. It was great to see that I kept the gals interested the whole way through and some of them were even tearing up. Everyone thought I was just amazing but you know this yourself, I'm not really - I'm just doing what I can to beat this cancer and still enjoy as much life as I can. No one (but cancer cousins) knows what it's like dealing with cancer, no one can understand our mentality and how we can appear that we're taking our situation so well. But WE do.
I was really glad I was able to explain to them what it's like to live with cancer, to go through the treatments, and how it changes our lives forever.
The lady that held the seminar, Barb, said that she's still receiving accolades about my talk. That really make me feel good, to know that I drove home the message about how important mammograms are and that BC is survivable if caught early, and even then, if you're caught in our situation, there's still hope.
