I must have said that a thousand times in my head! In January 2011 my lilfe was redefinied by hearing "you have breast cancer" By the grace of God it was found early, stage 1 - did not spread to lymph nodes BUT was HER2+ and that meant chemo, radiation, herceptin and tamoxifen. Bring it on!! My team of doctors were quite frankly the best, angels on earth!
The treatment did not scare me, I was ready to fight this batte and win. What did scare me was telling my family and friends and especially our beautiful daugther (who was only 10 at the time). God made children very resilient - and He gave her an extra dose of it!
Through my faith in God, my wonderful family, amazing friends and fantastic team of doctors I literally kicked cancers butt! Along this journey I have meet some truly incredible people and I realized how strong I really am. I am blessed to have the experience to be able to tell people what I went thru in the hopes they will see you can kick cancers butt - don't delay in getting your mammograms and do your self exams - early detection is the key ladies and gentlemen! God Bless!
