I was diagnosed with stage 2 grade 3 breast cancer on August , 2008. What a punch in the gut! Hearing those words were devastating. I thought this was the worst words anyone could hear. Until 3 weeks later my husband suffered a massive heart attack and passed away at age 51. Now I was facing cancer without my husband, my friend, my comfort.
Looking at the faces of my 5 children I knew I had to fight harder than ever. Their love and support healed me physically as well as mentally. My medical staff at St. Mary hospital were wonderful. So caring!!
Today I am a 5 year survivor!! I celebrate everyday for tomorrow is never promised. I still grieve my husband but I know he is always with me.
