6th Cancerversary

November 16, 2011 will mark my 6th cancerversary, the day I was diagnosed. Now that I've reached the big 5 years, I'm uncertain how to feel about it. I know that the further I'm out the better but I also know that my HER2+ status doesn't make me immune. I also know that each time I ride my bike or drive in Austin doesn't make me immune to getting hit but maybe I'm being dramatic.

My hair is about the length it was when I was first diagnosed. Wow, I guess that is pretty much the only similarity I have from my November 16, 2005 life to my current life. I've been wanting to grow out my hair to donate it. I think I'll celebrate my cancerversary this year by getting long side layers again. This should still allow me to donate my hair when I'm ready.
I hesitated a little getting long layers because my sister that moved to Austin a few years ago has bangs. She is constantly getting mistaken for me and vice versa. I think it's worse for her because I've lived in Austin longer and know more people. At the first Mamma Jamma she kept having people come up trying to hug her thinking it was me. I think it's rather comical but will be celebrating the big 6 years with a hair cut. Cheers!
