Let me start by saying thank you to everyone!
I feel like my life has and is measured by a timeline- I do not like this, I am somewhat of a control freak, and my breast cancer threw me for a loop-there was not a damn thing I could do about it and this annoyed me greatly.
Oh great here come the tears, I have been through a LOT in my 41 years, starting at 12 years old a ruptured appendix (almost died), double pneumonia (almost died), and a internal bleeding to which ended up being an ulcer.
Flash forward to age 27 my police officer husband decides to have an affair with the town tramp, a divorce is inevitable for me, no children involved, THANK GOD!
3 years later, I have re-married and have my first daughter, c-section, then hernia surgery a year later, no biggie, then my second daughter two years later, again c-section, and lo and behold another hernia surgery for me, by now I am a seasoned veteran of the surgery world!
So there I am 40 years old, and go get my very first mammo, again no biggie, cancer does not run in my family, until I get a letter from the Dr.s office they found a mass, but I have no history, so again I am not worried, my Dr. sends me for a magnified mammogram and an ultrasound of my breast, still nothing sure can be seen, Dr. assures me wait 6 months, flash forward 3 months and I have a lemon sized growth on my right breast, everyone knows the routine, biopsy, Dr. says 3 months to live, we start aggressive chemo treatments, then radiation, then my mastectomy October 5, 2007.
I am now preparing for my "new"breasts I cannot wait!
Evidently through all my trials & tribulations, I am not meant to go just yet! I am here for a purpose, I hope God leaves me here long enough to see my precious girls grow into beautiful women without CANCER.
This thought along with wondering everyday if my cancer will return is always weighing on me, but I do not let it get me down, because I know I have a purpose to serve!
Love you all & hang in there,
