Perfectly unremarkable

When I was first diagnosed, fear and anxiety were constant and overwhelming. I met a breast cancer survivor who told me that there’d be a time of difficulty and then a time of ease and then the day would come when all would be marvelously, unremarkably bland.

She was right about it all. Today was marvelously bland. I’m in remission, my body is strong. I’ve lost the 12 kg I gained during treatment. My hair is growing and my period is back. Miraculous. Humbling. I’m grateful for the return to the seemingly ordinary.
