After several years of being called back for ultrasounds after my mammograms, I began to think it was just routine. However, nothing was routine about the last ultrasound when the radiologist started looking at the lymph nodes under my arm. As an RN I knew that something wasn't right. We scheduled a biopsy for the next week and my husband was going to be out of town. I asked my 2 best friends if either of them were available and both said yes! My husbands schedule changed so they all decided we would go as a group. So blessed to have crazy loving people in my life!
The news came back as invasive grade 3 breast-cancer with lymph node involvement. So at the age of 46 this meant chemo, mastectomies, radiation, failed reconstruction and a world-wind of tests & appointments.
But before all that began I felt led do a photo shoot with one of those friends just eight days after cancer diagnosis. (She had a vision of me in the rain.) It was a way for me to express hope, positive determination and that in the midst of the storm we can all Dance in the Rain!
