PINK is my color since having breast cancer 21 years ago. I rarely see PINK representation. Magenta hair alters my mood greatly..

Knowledge leads to better Advocation

When I went through chemo+radiation for cancer, the after effects I was told could be temporary, are chronic.

I learned #Advocacy

I research my illnesses daily, because learning is constant.

Sometimes things happen for a reason.

I have been dealing with Disability and contesting a denial. As a result of this, I had to buy health insurance for myself and my husband from the exchange. We decided to go with the same carrier but a much better gold plan. This turns out to be a good thing. My husband had a lung scan (cant remember the name CT maybe) because he has been a smoker. They found a nodule. This doesn't automatically mean cancer but might. The next step is a biopsy. From reading online, most nodules are not cancerous. But if it was cancer it would be found very early and have a good prognosis. Our better coverage will make this all much easier. I am grateful he was referred for this screening. We are dealing with this pretty well, not going to stress too much until we know more.

I am a pretty anxious person and prone to worry and awfullizing. worrying and jumping to the worst possible outcome in my head. But I am learning to be less reactive and to take each moment at a time. To just make the next best choice and then wait.

I was pretty distressed when my disability was initially denied. But it might have been for the best because I would not have improved my insurance otherwise.

Perspective and maturity are so helpful.
