About Me

I am a 35 year old single mom of two veery wonderful little boys. Joshua is 7 years old. He has autism. Anthony is 3 years old. He was born at 32 weeks because i was diagonsed with infamatory breast cancer when i was 29 weeks pregant with him. He is great now you would never know he was born that early. I have the brca2 cancer gene. I hade both my breast removed and reconstructed. did chemo treatments alot of treatments, and radiation. Lost all my hair and both my breasts, but i am still here. My husband and i seperated,he couldnt deal. I have gone through alot in 4 short years i have trusted in God at every step I took. My hair is now to my shoulders, my childern are doing great. I am now very healhty, My appt are now every 6 Mo. My Dr. says that is a big step. Belive me it is. I am a very blessed woman. It has been 4 years since my cancer journey has started. i do not regret anything that i done, the choices i made. This made me a better woman, i know that sounds crazy, but it did. I met alot of intersesting women while going through chemo and etc.. Some going through it a 2nd or 3rd time. some just beginning. I have always knew in my heart i would be ok. I had a wonderful family support. {except my ex-husband} I think he just had a very hard time seeing me the way i was and couldnt except it. Bald with no boobs. He says now that it didnt bother him, but i know it did. He treated me different. Our marriage was not good, he was somewhat verbally abusive, he cheated on me off and on our entire marriage.{found that out when we seperated, they came out of the wood work then} But i think that going through that made me stronger to. i prayed alot on what to do. Finding out you have cancer is not easy. I have 2 wonderful friends who are there for me for everything they are like sisters to. Wheni have a bad day they are there for me. We are there for each other. they are the best friends i could ever ask for,and parents who are my sole support. Every day they pray for me and my children, they have gone through everything with me. they were and are my support.My brother is the jokster. He joke about everything, that helped. and my sister-in-law who is more of a soul sister to me. And last but not least my babys. They are the air in my lungs. While going through everything i would look at them and i would want to fight harder and harder. To be able to be there for them always. And with God by my side, i knew i would be ok. And here i am happier and stronger than ever. I AM STILL HERE!!!!!
