Today is National cancer survivor's day.
Survivorship is not easy. One may feel survivor's guilt. One may suffer from side effects of chemo or numerous surgeries. One may fear that the beast could come back.
Cancer survivorship is not sexy. Some of us suffer from body disfigurement. Low self-esteem. Loss of bodily functions. Low sex drive. Sexual promblems. Lack of understanding and support. Poor or no insurance.
Yet, we stand. We are courageous but not heroes. Yet, we stand. We are brave and scared. Yet, we stand. We fight even when our friends think the fight is over.
We stand. We fight. We battle and one fuckin day, we will win this motherfucking war.
But, until then, we stand.
