Words that Changed Me To The Core

By Jessica BerkmenPublished 5 months ago Updated 5 months ago 1 min read

I'm okay

The last two words I said before I found out

There's a mass

The three words that made my sister and I cry

You need a Craniotomy

The four words that split my skull open

I love you

The three words that made chemotherapy not hurt as bad

I'm coming

The two words that made me feel not alone

reinvented

the one word that described how i felt after surviving brain cancer

Gratitude
