I reached my 5-year post-cancer diagnosis today. I'm now among the 84.2% ovarian cancer survivors who have lived 5 years after the initial diagnosis. What a milestone it is! I felt all conflicted when thinking about how I was going to celebrate this milestone because of my pregnancy. On the one hand, it was such a bummer 'cause I wanted to drink. On the other, the (second, I might add) pregnancy itself is worth celebrating considering what we've been through. So cheers to a non-drink to my reaching the 5-year mark and another non-drink to my second pregnancy. Here's to many many more cancer-free years to come!
