A dear friend of mine completed her last round of radiation last week. About four years ago, I completed mine. I have a pretty good idea how she felt when she hit the celebratory gong after her last treatment. Surviving breast cancer surgery and the following treatment regimen gives you a type of fearlessness that can be uniquely shared by fellow survivors. I was at the gym a while ago with two fellow survivors, and before you knew it, we were showing our "tattoo" markings from our treatments. There was no self-consciousness, no denial, no we shouldn't talk about this in public! There's a sisterhood survivor spirit because we are still here and thriving. I first experienced this openness with three other women who were strangers to me before we were featured in the Fall 2015 issue of Real Woman magazine. Forever connected. Forever thankful.
