Right now, I can barely walk three miles but it gets easier every day. One of the oncologists who we worked with said something to my dad that really has stuck with me. He said that cancer introduces you to yourself, it introduces you to your new reality; that I'm not the healthy (I use this term loosely, as well any of you who have seen my prior eating habits) 25 year old I was. Even though my cancer has been "gone" for four months and I'm considered a survivor, I'll always be a cancer patient, I'll always have an oncologist and I'll always have the chance of recurrence. That's a lot to swallow...
