I choose pink in honor of breast cancer awareness. Not only is this disease one that strikes with out much warning but its something that we all need to be aware of.
I myself have been through quite a roller coaster of a year....in June my Dr. made me go for an ultra sound on my thyroid where it was found that I had multiple cysts/nodules on it. I went through testing that came back as indeterminable and in turn ended up having half of my thyroid removed. When the pathology came back after the surgery it was noted that I had a 2/3 mm spot of what is known as papillary thyroid cancer. Though that does not mean that the side remaining in my body is cancerous nor does it mean it is not.
I have begun a journey in my life that I hope I will be able to remain on indefinitely. That journey is one to better health. I have recently joined a team in training that is specifically for women whose lives have been affected by this nasty invader known as cancer. I am currently in training to run/walk my first 8k race in March. I hope to not only run/walk this race but to do as many as I can in the next year and the years to come. I will post as much as I can telling you all about this journey and sharing the photos along the way.......
