One of my favorite Fresh Living blogs is Valerie’s “Cancer-free-aversary & a Chemo Cocktail Recipe” because she approaches this topic with such humility. I have a good friend who was also was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and I know how much she suffered. To read Valerie on this topic, check out her blog. Here’s an excerpt:

Today is my 4th Cancer-free-aversary. When I was 31 I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Went through being sick, biopsy surgery, chemo, hair loss, temporary early menopause, a year of fatigue, the works. So it is with great pleasure that I breathe today–even though I have a cold. It is with great pleasure that I work today, that I have friends today, that I write today, that I walk from the train stop today.
