I had been with my husband for over 22 yrs. He had left mid October 2010. Monday December 6th 2010 I went for a mammogram. I had been to the doctor and had blood work, I even went to the ER. After the mammogram the tech walked out of the room. When she came back she said we are calling your doctor because we need to do an Ultrasound. I out my hand over my left breast. I knew it. I had felt it and I knew it. After the ultrasound they said you need a needle biopsy NOW.In that cold room I started texting my ex and friends. He wrote back Sorry to hear that. I was in the middle of packing up my house to move and now I know I have cancer. The doctor came in to do my biopsy. Tears started to roll down my face I am getting a divorce and losing my insurance. She told me "Lisa, You have Cancer and have had it for a long time!" She said you need to see our surgeon in the morning, I was at the surgeons office the next morning at 9am. December 22nd I was starting Chemo. My friends were over packing up my house. My friends made meal nights. A man I had seen but didn't know said he wanted to date me! He was so incredibly handsome! I told him he must be crazy as I was going through a divorce. I had Cancer and was about to lose my breast. He said he could help and that he did. About 50 or more people showed up to move the boys and i. As I fell asleep sick on the couch they unpacked my home. That man made me drink Gatorade,he looked up every single symptom I had and tried to find a solution for it. I had radiation and 6 reconstruction surgeries. I also had a 7th surgery to get my ovaries removed. God is good and Cancer SAVED my life. Cancer made me take care of ME and not my ex.
