I had just had my first child in the April and then the results of the lump in my breast was confirmed as malignant. I felt like it was a death sentence and couldnt accept the result. Probably a blocked milk duct was the first thought by my GP.
I asked the team to get a second opinion, which they happily did to make sure they hadnt made a mistake.
I had age, health, no family history and a new born daughter. I thought I had everything. I was only 23. God hates me, I must not have been good enough growing up. What did I do to deserve this?
I had to stay strong for Ashlee. I had a supportive family thankfully.
Mum was so strong and Ashlee was the wind beneath my wings. I had someone to live for.
Im the luckiest person I know. They found the lump early and treated me.
I lost my hair, had chemo and radiation and become a stronger person who doesnt take things for granted. Im lucky because after being told not to have anymore children (as mine was hormonal apparently), I now have 3 more kids and a very loving supportive husband. I was told its just a weed and you have to reject it, so I have. Given 10 years to live, Im now 40...Yay!!!!! And on I go...Thankyou God!
