3 Years later.....

I was diagnosed with stage II Ductal Carcinoma in April of 2007. After a lumpectomy and a second surgery to get more of a margin around my tumer, 8 chemos, and 35 radiation visits, I'm still here!! I had great support from my three remarkable daughters, my two sisters and my two brothers and many dear friends. Something like this sure puts things in perspective. Life really is precious and I have learned to not sweat the small stuff so much!

My heart goes out to those facing this ordeal currently and for those that have gone through this. I truely believe that things happen for a reason, it will make you stronger and remind you of what is really important. Live life, live strong and be proud to call yourself a survivor!
