Yay picture!I do!Exchanging RingsPicking out a dress

Things to catch up on:

  • Mike and I eloped!

    April 1st, 2010: Mike and I had a quiet Justice of the Peace ceremony with my two lovely gal pals and our guy friend. It was short, sweet, and all I could ever wish for. Afterwards was lunch at an Irish pub, mmm. I’ve never been much of a fairy tale wedding woman. I spent time dreaming of other things whilst I disfigured my Barbie and Ken toys, making monsters.

    My day was perfect.

  • Depression
    This one’s a bit harder to admit. I’ve been dealing with severe depression, some dealing with cancer, some of it not. It’s been a large part of the reason why I ceased posting about anything. I hope to touch on some of it later.

  • Change is in the wind and it feels good.
    I’m in Seattle for a month while Mike works a job! I haven’t been here in over 9 years. It’s good to be back and see a few friends.Oh, and the biggest news of all － Mike and I are moving back west!

  • Surgery: More reconstruction
    I’ve recently had nipple reconstruction. I had been wavering on whether or not it was a wise idea but after talking to many ladies, I finally decided it was for me. Anything to help make me feel whole again. The downside? I needed to start wearing bras again, boo!

    It takes about two months to heal from the surgery. For me, a bit longer since I’m a constant picker and can’t leave the surgery sites alone. I am, however, scheduled for the nipple tattooing when I get back to home in June. I can’t wait to be done with the reconstruction process.

  • Skin cancer?
    My two biopsies have returned cancer free! Huzzah!

About

After finding a lump in March, I was diagnosed with breast cancer on April 10th, 2009 at the age of 25. This is my attempt at keeping my sanity as well as an outlet to keep those close to me informed of my adventures.

In April, I had my first of five surgeries leaving me emotionally, physically, mentally, and financially scarred for life. June marked another surgery as well as the beginning of my journey through sixteen weeks of chemotherapy. November, I withstood a bilateral mastectomy with immediate reconstruction and experienced an unexpected difficult road towards recovery. February, another surgery. April, yet another surgery.

So why ‘beautiful grim’? Overall, my cancer experience seems nothing but ‘grim’ but the ‘beautiful’ comes from learning to see things differently every day.

I always try to think of the beautiful before the grim.



My best to you,
Midori Cat Lim
