In September of 2007 I was diagnosed with stage 4 mestastic breast cancer. My family and friends rallied around me with love and support. I had a bilateral mastectomy, 12 weeks of chemo, and 7 weeks of radiation. My sister and niece threw a fight like a girl party and we had a blast. My cousin Terri made me a blankie that went to all my chemo treatments. My Mom went to every appointment (and still does). My friends JoAnn, Debra and Gisele, drove me when family could not. Kristy and Nancy brought meals and fun stuff to make me laugh(like a no hair towel). When I felt like I could not make it to the end of a treatment week, I would get a call of support from my Aunt Sandy( a survivor herself ) or a card from Terri, a wispered prayer from JoAnn, a phone call from Debra to ask if I had boogers today. I'm sure I must be leaving someone out because there were so many Earth Angels around me. With the grace of God and all their support I am a year cancer free. My wonderful sister is now a volunteer for the ACS and helping woman going through treatment feel beautiful. I love you all.
