Short (not so short really) History of Kate’s Cancer

Everyone was asking: “What’s next?” and “When’s your surgery?” And now it’s just an exercise in keeping track of just how many freaking doctors appointments and medical procedures I have. Why not keep track of all of my dates, from the beginning of this journey… It’s a lot! See for yourself.
