The first post

Only 4 days since my diagnosis and already I am learning and experiencing life so much more fully than bbc (before breast cancer). I am thinking of d-day (diagnosis day) as the beginning of a journey that I am going to take. And I thought going to Italy was a great idea! Little did I know that there were greater things in store for me. At least, today on d-day+4 I think that there are great things in store.

Clearly, I do know that there will be negative and unplesant parts of the journey. In fact, I know that I have no clue, no reality about this journey. Only that it is before me and I have no choice but to go ahead.

This blog is going to be my record and a way of communicating with anyone who might have an interest. I hope there will be interesting, provoking, maybe sometimes informative, and even funny entries in this blog. Already I have asked 2 of my supporters to be on the lookout for humor that will help me laugh and keep my perspective grounded in this time of my life.

So, here I am . . . on the threshold, taking the first steps.
