My 7th Metaversary

March 8, 2017, I received my breast cancer diagnosis and on June 27, 2017, I was told that I had actually been Stage IV from the beginning (aka de novo). I've marked the former as my cancerversary for the last seven years (check out the post I wrote in March about that 7th cancerversary here) … Continue reading My 7th Metaversary
