Happy to Be Here

That old moodstone Luck can go from light to dark and back several times in a day. Being the one out of the seven women out in the real world to get invasive breast cancer isn’t a lucky lottery to win–but when I’m in the health care system, I feel positively fortunate. Many of the women I encounter are dealing with worse odds than mine. After four surgeries on the same breast, lord have mercy, it’s still there. How amazing is that? Scars transform it from just another copy into art.
