Hi, my name is Angie. I'm 41 years old and I'm a Breast Cancer Survivor. On 4/28/09 I was diagnose with 3 different types of cancer in my r breast. My 1st cousin/bff, just died not even a year prior from breast cancer at the age of 32. Not only did I battle with my disease. I had a son with epilepsy, who was 18 a senior in high school.It started when he turned 14. Three months into my chemo treatment,last year, he went through alot of experimental surgery's to find a cure for his seizures. These surgery's required for him to stay in the hospital for the majority of the summer. As he got surgery I was next door at another hospital getting chemo treatment. Even though I was going threw chemo, I stayed at the hospital with him. I completed my last round of chemo on 9/9/2009. While waiting for my surgery date to arrive, my aunt who also had breast cancer died on 9/29/09. After lying her down to rest, I had my surgery on 10/7/09 a bil mastectomy w/reconstruction tissue expanders. On 10/17/09 I was able to do the Susan G Komen race for the cure with drainage bag still intact Everything was going fine until 2/7/10.I found my son deceased in his room as a result of his seizures. Me battling cancer don't even compare to the pain I felt after losing my son. I'm almost finish with my reconstruction surgery's. I have to take tamoxifen, but thats all good because I'm cancer free. I know I went I through all of this for a reason. The reason is to let people know that there is a God, because when you see me you see him, His work.
