As I finished up healing from my second surgery (2nd part of reconstruction) I was planning a trip to England and Greece with a few of my friends. When I say planning… I mean I bought tickets to England and my friends who live in England planned the rest (they are the best). I was eager to spend time with friends, take a vacation, but also celebrate being cancer free and being done with the worst year of my life.
The time came and we flew off to England and Greece and back to England, spending multiple days rock climbing in Kalymnos and eating yummy Greek food, it was the most amazing experience spent with the most amazing people. It truly was a celebration of the end of the worst year, but the start of something new. A life without cancer and an entirely new outlook on life. We flew back on November 4th. Exactly 1 year after the day I got the phone call that changed my life. Exactly 1 year from when I heard the words “you have cancer”.
