Jewish tradition declares the number seven is perfect. So today I share seven thoughts.
1. Seven years ago today I woke up with butterflies in my belly because of what the day held for me.
2. Seven years ago today the surgical waiting room at Baptist Hospital in Little Rock was overrun with people praying for me, laughing and telling lies exaggerated stories about me and eating my peanut M&Ms.
3. Seven years ago today I sang “I Want To Be Sedated” as the attendant and nurse wheeled me into surgery.
4. Seven years ago today a cancerous mass, my left breast and several lymph nodes were removed from my body.
5. Seven years ago today somebody stole the breast cancer awareness car magnet from my van in the hospital parking lot.
6. Seven years ago today I began an unwelcomed journey, but one in which I learned a lot along the way.
7. Seven years ago today I decided I would not be bested by something as evil as cancer.
It may not be a perfect list, but I sure do love being able to say I’ve been cancer free for seven years.
Mothers With Cancer 
yay for 7 years
Indeed! 🙂
Seven has always been a lucky number for me. Happy 7th. I will be 1 on Sunday!
Happy 1st and may you have many, many more!
My number is only 5 – not a perfect 7 – but it sounds like my story including the stolen car magnet! I am still praising God for His goodness!
Five is a HUGE milestone so good for you and congratulations!! You had your car magnet stolen as well??? What’s wrong with people? And yes – God is good all the time!
Congratulations on 7. We have all shared so much sadness on this blog… It is nice to share the good times too.
It’s a fantastic list. I enjoyed it from start to finish, and was happy to see that number repeated over and over. Congrats on seven years 🙂
