SYMMETRY REDEFINED

Throughout most of my life, I always had the urge to achieve symmetry in everything I did. I needed the sense of balance to preserve my peace of mind and silence the voices in my head. But all that changed when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After my mastectomy, I have had no choice but to tame the beast of compulsion. Thanks to the image that confronts me in the mirror everyday.

Now I am mastering the art of finding gratification in whatever comes my way. Symmetry can be subjective after all.

AFTER SURGERY

The first comforting face I saw as I regained consciousness in the recovery room was that of my son. I was wondering though why he was in tears.

My husband was just above my head and I will forever remember the first thing he said to me. "They had to take everything out. It's cancer."
