I found my breast cancer lump myself on April 10, 2010, went to the doctor and said, "I have this lump, let's get this show on the road because I'm busy". I finished all of my treatment (surgery, chemo and radiation) on October 1 and I truly feel stronger, better, more grateful, more balanced, more loving, wiser and more authentic than ever before. It was through the strength of my friends and family's support and meeting the most amazing "classmates" along the way that I can honestly say, if I had not went through this journey, I wish I would have - they gave me hope and inspiration. My life never revolved around the cancer, but it is now more enriched because of it and now I will never forget...cancer is a word, not a sentence. My life's journey is beginning a new chapter - the best one yet.
