You sound so much like me....maybe you're my long-lost sister that I never had. I rocked the breast cancer treatments and kept a good sense of humor and good outlook on life. I chopped my hair & donated it prior to chemo and then colored it fuchsia. I love my hair super short now but am currently trying to grow it out mostly out of curiosity since it seems that maybe it's now curly instead of straight. Not sure if it will straighten with length though. Losing your hair is what I call "minors" in the grand scheme of cancer and I tell people whenever they're griping about their hair or lack of....Get over it! Anyway, I smiled while reading your post and signed up just so I could reply. I, too feel that my life is to be lived differently now. I don't feel that I have found my purpose yet but I know that I don't sweat the small stuff anymore and try to seriously avoid people/situations that are a drag on my soul. I do worry that it could come back but I try not to & just keep going to my check-ups, etc. I finished chemo & radiation just before my 40th birthday and then celebrated with friends by going to Aruba. I still can't believe I had cancer sometimes but life is strange that way. Take care of yourself & enjoy your most fabulous self!
