So now what?

As I mentioned in my last post, I haven't been sure of what to do with myself since completing my cancer treatments. So after some thought, I decided to volunteer with the Breast Cancer Resource Center, the organization that supported and educated me when I needed it the most during the last nine months. I will be "paying it forward" by visiting with other women during their chemotherapy, hopefully making their time in the infusion room a little easier. I'll also be available if a BCRC client needs some help with gardening, one of my favorite hobbies. And finally, I've joined the planning committee for the wonderful Pink Ribbon Cowgirls, the cancer support and social group that I have been a member of since I was first diagnosed. This great group of women has been a huge source of comfort and sound advice through every stage of my treatment. I'm really looking forward to doing this work, and the opportunity to be there for other women when they're feeling scared, anxious, and sick. I was there, and now I'm here, and I've learned a lot along the way!
