40, breast cancer

The truth is, all the same things are important to me now that were important to me before I was told I had cancer - my partner, family, love, holidays, quiet times, fun, laughter, my animals, my garden... I suppose the one thing I've noticed is that I now feel those insignificant moments far more intensely. When I look into my nephew's tiny smiling face, I treasure every nanosecond of that experience - it's impossible to look away until he does. When I cuddle my partner, I can't seem to let him go. It's like I can't stand to lose those ordinary moments. I received an email from my doctor today after tests last week. I asked him if I received a distinction. He replied, "Top marks." Now, that's important.
