The day I got the call will forever be etched in my memory. Two days prior I had a lumpectomy to remove a lump that was believed to be a fibroadenoma. I wish that's all it had been. My oldest sister had just passed away the year before from metastatic ovarian cancer and my mom had beat vocal cord cancer. So to hear the words of "You have breast cancer" at the age of 27 was devastating. However, after getting all the details (Stage 1), my only thoughts were how do I beat this? I have 2 daughters and I need to be here for them. Thank goodness I have a supportive husband and family. Now, I am finished with chemo and about to start radiation. But as I am rounding down my battle, my other sister is just beginning her battle with Colorectal cancer (Stage 3). We are a family of fighters and will continue to kick cancers butt!
