You are my kind of people. Sometimes I get tired of the angry cancer people. I've always been sort of a non-angry type survivor. ;)

Doesn't it seem like so long ago? I'm very proud of you. You are so strong and courageous. Hoping one day my mom will be able to write a post like this!!! xoxo

From someone still facing "the front page news", I'm so glad for you that this can all be a distant memory. Healing, moving on, and staying NED is what we all strive for. You fought the fight and you won! Stay healthy girl!

Thank you for this post.

I love that you saved it, and I love it even more that you can let it go.

Nice post. I'm glad your hair is back.

Beautifully written, Beck. You made me all verklempt! It's funny how things we think will be a Huge Deal end up not to be. And I loved your analogy of losing your hair being after Lifestyle but before Real Estate!

It even seems to me that your whole experience with cancer isn't even front page anymore. I mean, I'm sure you think of it all the time, but it's not something that defines you. Maybe it's on the masthead, part of what informs your day-to-day, but even it has been pushed to the side. What a blessing that life indeed goes on.

Now, do you think you'll grow it long again? ;)

A nice Christmas sentiment, actually: get rid of anything that holds you back, is clutter, and focus on what's really important (like what skill Laura will perfect next or what funny thing will fall out of Hank's mouth).

Kudos, hot cocoa, and love!

Bless you for deposing cancer. xo

Perspective is frequently hard won. That which doesn't kill us sometimes just hurts like hell. But, thank God, that passes too.

Love you.

This is something...a great message for people at the front end of the "going bald for chemo" process. A fitting way to remember.

I was just thinking about you this morning, "I started reading Becky's blog right as she was diagnosed. Wow, that was *well* over a year ago." It's funny how those major life experiences ebb and flow, isn't it? What consumes us entirely one day (week, month, year) somehow becomes something we think about weekly, or monthly, or once or twice now and then. It's fascinating to me.
