I went shopping with Beth yesterday, I've been looking for a 10 year anniversary ring with 10 stones to mark my 10 years survival from Breast Cancer. We went to many stores but all would take 6 weeks to have the ring built because of the size I wanted. Then we decided to look for a ring that would fit my pinky finger. We went to the last shop and he was very determined to find me 1. He was very patient and looked and counted every stone till he finally found one. I fell in love with it instantly.
It was a bit more than I wanted to spend but I felt I was worth it. This was for me and I never spend money on myself, I've spent so much time this past year just surviving on what little money I had as my ex has not paid me 1 red cent in 15 months.
I also got myself a couple of tattoos on Valentines day, again something just for me, The first is a pink ribbon with a black half a heart. The meaning is for the survivors, the black heart is for the ones that didn't survive, I sometimes feel guilty that I am still here when a young mother of 40 is not. So I try to do as many good deeds as I can. The other says Survivor and has my first date of chemo on it.
Not sure what the family will say but does it matter its my life, my body.
