4 months ago if you asked me to describe myself I would have said I am a wife, mother, triathlete and runner. Today I am still all those things but I am also a Breast Cancer Warrior. After I turned 40 I had my scheduled mammogram on a Friday, Saturday I ran 12 miles and Monday I got the call. On 10/10/13 I was diagnosed with stage 3c Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. The morale of this story is get your mammogram, it saved my life! I was the picture of health and had this disease growing inside of me and had no idea.
I am currently on my 10th out of 20 chemo treatments then I will have a double mastectomy, radiation and finally delayed reconstruction. I have still be able to keep up with my kids activities and continue to swim, bike and run. I will fight like a triathlete and win this battle. With the love and support of my family and friends I WILL endure. I WILL survive. I WILL live on.
