Changing tense

Another post copied from my old blog:

Sunday, July 11, 2010

I've decided to change from "I have breast cancer" to "I HAD breast cancer". Even if it's not entirely accurate yet. Hey, it could be. Everything we know about has been cut out, so how do I know there are any microscopic cancer cells lingering? If there are, chemo & rads will kill them. Either way, cancer does not get to live here, and I'm not going to keep telling myself I have cancer. I did have it, but the eviction process is well underway.

As of today, August 7, I'm not sure how successful I've been at changing my thinking to "had" instead of "have". But I keep trying.
