"introduction" OR "Breast cancer is the new 30"

These things usually start with an explanation. I'll keep mine brief. My name is Morgan and I'm 30 years old. I was diagnosed with stage 3, triple-negative, IDC on February 4th, 2014. Since that day, dealing with cancer has become my life. Before this I had another life where I'd moved far away, started a new career, and met an amazing guy. Before the diagnosis, I thought I might blog about that. Boooooor-ing.

 I'd determined that it might be cool to do a time-lapse of my face every day over the course of my treatment. I've started this blog to accompany that photo project. I'll begin chemotherapy on April 21st. I'll begin taking daily photos on April 20th. You can also expect reflections, venting, advice, and product reviews. It's all quite self-indulgent, but I have cancer so I can basically do whatever I want these days.

Here's a photo of me, the beautiful hair I've already cut off in a fit of frustrated rage, the breasts that have been removed and reconstructed, and the cigarettes that probably kinda helped me end up where I am right now. I may miss the cigs the most.
