35 years old.. And I've got breast cancer! I was all about hating the world and life. Had a modified radical on the right side Oct 14 2000 and a simple in 2004. Did the chemo, got sick as a dog! But there's reasons it wasn't all the way bad. I found out that I look really good bald! And I didn't need to spend time doing my hair: Just dry my head, add lotion, good to go! Hey! And the best part, I've got an amazing pair of "re treads" ! I'd always wanted a bigger cup size, and thanks to a really messed up thing called breast Cancer, I've got them. My plastic surgeon, also a survivor helped me a lot. She proved to me that we are all stronger than we ever knew. For me humor and getting tattoos got me through a lot. But what kept me going the most were the people around me. They always said "we are going to get through this"
