I just celebrated my baby boys 1st birthday when i found a lump,at the urgency of my husband to go to the dr, or as he put it if it was one of the boys you would of been there in a heartbeat. I was diagnosed at the age of 34 with stage 2 breast cancer. My life then became a whirlwind and before I knew it life was no longer what i once knew. But what i did know was everything i chose, i chose because i wanted to watch my babies grow. I am now 6 months cancer free and almost done with full reconstruction.....always remember to lean on your friends and family, they will get you through the most difficult times
