My One-Year Anniversary
Today is the one-year anniversary of The Assertive Cancer Patient.
On August 30, 2006, I launched my blog with three short posts:
The Assertive Cancer Patient: Feels Surprisingly Happy
The Assertive Cancer Patient: Is Not Necessarily a ‘Good Patient’
The blog has brought me some new friends: Teri, Sara, Gudrun, Liz, Lisa, Jessica, and Jacqueline. Tomorrow I'm flying to New York to spend the Labor Day weekend with Jacqueline and her husband.
How cool is that?
It's also been an incredible outlet for my rants, large and small, about everything from MIA doctors to Breast Cancer Barbie. Some fascinating conversations have grown out of those rants, as readers told their stories or debated cancer issues with me.
One thing I'm especially proud of is that my blog is a place where people can agree to disagree and still stay friends--no name-calling on this blog. And even if you LIKE pink ribbons, you can still be my friend.

Have fun in New York. I'll be going in Oct for f/u with my surgeon. I am getting quite used to my journeys to NYC and although it still seems crazy to me I can't imagine not having had my incredible kind female surgeon supporting me the last 9 months.
Thanks for setting up this blog and listening to my rants too.

Happy Anniversary, Jeanne, and have a wonderful time in NYC -- and then blog about it, because I'd love to hear about what you did there.

Yep, Jeanne that is cool. Its all really cool, as a matter of fact...your strength, your sharing, your compassion, and er your tenacious nature.
I tip my hat and bottle of sunscreen to ya!
Salude and live it up in the city that never sleeps.
Oh and a nightly glass of red wine.
Take good care,
K.

Ah, Jeanne, this post truly made me smile. Thank you for accepting me, pink ribbons and all. I still need to go out and get that book - maybe in my spare time? No, I have no spare time. Maybe next week.
Happy blogging. I envy you the time to put together thoughtful posts, and I appreciate the effort that you put into them.
