The word "Survivor."

I have been living with breast cancer for 20 years, I do consider myself a survivor but not just surviving breast cancer, actually just surviving life. I like the fight like a girl thing, for myself it is a funny way to remind myself to keep on keepin on. I also like tough enough to wear pink because I have pink tack for my giant 17 hand black warlander that I ride. I did this on my 19 hand giant black shire as well.
I don’t internalize the war, but I do love the conversation starters. I wear pink every single day in October. Partially I do this because I love pink, but I also believe if this reminds one woman to get a mammogram that finds early cancer, it is worth it.
I do quite a bit of patient advocacy work so I find these are tools without getting into the weeds about wording.
I drive a big truck, I ride big horses and I work hard at the farm, I think I might be tough enough to wear whatever color I want. 😂😂

I no longer have horses, but I used to ride and had my fair share of big horses too! I also drive a big JEEP! :o) I am just learning about "We wear pink in October". I will need to research a bit more about what that all about.
