The road that changed me.
‘Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.’ -Robert Frost
The truth is, I can never return to the person I was before. I can never return to where this journey first began. That was 12 years ago, 12 surgeries ago, with a lot of complicated moving parts and I was 30.
I felt behind while I was struggling through fertility treatments, and watched while friends had their families. When I got breast cancer, I felt like my whole life was put on hold and control of the situation was gone. I watched life go on around me, and my world froze there.
I am 42 now and healing. I am alive, I have twins and I am cancer free. And while it seemed that I was going to be suspended indefinitely, it turns out that now I am ahead of friends and peers. They have yet to experience their first mammogram or discover hot flashes during the first stages of menopause.
All I can do is embrace the place that I am at.
Without all these experiences, I would not be who I am.
And I found purpose with the painful parts, something profound to focus on and move forward with.
