The 4th butterfly

IMG_0406b


When you're told T3N2M0 in connection with a cancer diagnosis you get scared, well, once you figure out exactly what that means you get scared.  When you read that this scoring means you have a 20-30% chance of being alive in 5 years you get determined!  And when you are sitting in that chair getting butterfly #4 on your survivor tattoo project you begin to truly have hope!  Today is the 1st day of the last year working towards that big 5 and I'm going to beat those odds!

  3. That chart is some scary shit. Like I said, I hope you wind up with butterflies up one arm and down the other before all is said and done. BIG HUG.
