Jill Martin -

Not quite sure how to express my gratitude. Not enough words.

I hold two strong emotions very tight that often are not held together.

I am grateful that I caught my cancer early enough to be able to treat it and that chemotherapy helped me fight it- I am still shocked this whole thing happened.

I am grateful I got to ring the bell with all my might after finishing this part of my journey.

I am grateful I get to be with my family today.

I cannnot thank my surgeon and lifeline @drelisaport , my oncologist Dr. Sparano and Helen and all the nurses at @mountsinainyc with words— only to say thank you for saving my life. Faye & Claudia who did my cold capping - taking care of me for those 12 hours every time….and Amy @flowphysicaltherapy - I will continue to work and fight with you. You are all my earth angels.

I ring this bell with all my might. Honoring my mother who beat this disease, my grandmother who we lost to it and to all those who fought and are continuing to fight this battle.
I feel like I can do anything now….but first I will start by eating (a lot) of my husband’s stuffing followed by sushi, a sip of a dirty martini and hugs from some my favorite people.

Sending so much love, strength and light.
With everything going on in the world, we must celebrate the moments filled with light when we can.

sometimes it feels so hard to get to that point, where you say enough is enough, your mind plays tricks on you saying everything will be okay and then you get punished in a way by making the choice to simply do what is best for yourself.

this is about relationships i know, but when i got my IUD (the side effects from nuva were just too scary for me so) my then gynaecologist took "liberties" he wasn't supposed to, or maybe it just felt that way to me, either way i felt incredibly uncomfortable. a few weeks ago i had a pap and a PE on the same day and i had to be incredibly demanding to get a referral to someone else, its not in my nature to be so persistent or demanding but reaching the end of my tether, just spoke out. Now i have a lovely new gynaecologist & she is just so much more amenable, when i have questions, there aren't any silly questions, there's no judgement either.

That first step to where you want to be feels like trying to leap over a mountain, but its worth it.

Oh my God he took liberties? Bastard. If you felt weird about it, you should report him. I'm sorry that happened, it's so awful that these bastards get away with it but if you feel this guy did this, report him
