Just Breathe
I have had a day to absorb all of this. I keep pinching myself just to ensure it's not a dream. I guess it's because my family and I have had to deal with several situations of this nature, especially lately. And the outcome isn't always what we hope for. It's been an absolute rollercoaster. I don't want to say my Aunt C lost her battle with cancer. I hate that term "lost her battle." She didn't lose, she fought very hard until the last minute, and if that isn't the definition of a winner/warrior, then I don't know what is. Saying that she lost the battle means that cancer won. Cancer didn't win. Cancer will never win.
AB telling me that she is CANCER-FREE allows me (and I'm sure her too) to yell loud and clear, "FUCK YOU, CANCER." And I'm positive it is such a good feeling for her, her family, and for all of us - her friends.
It's over. Cancer lost. Now, we can all just breathe.
