I found a lump in my left breast in late August 2005. I went in for a mammogram on September 1, 2005, and was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. It was such a shock. I have no family history of breast cancer and never would have imaged this in my wildest dreams. I was numb with fear. However, I was blessed with wonderful, caring doctors and the best medical care I could hope for. Within two weeks I underwent a lumpectomy followed by chemotherapy and then radiation therapy. I was 55-years-old. I am now 59-years-old and looking forward to my birthday in two weeks. I am a four year survivror. My strong faith, family and friends have made this a tolerable journey. I look forward to each day with a definite sense of hope and I look at all things in my life differently now and with much more appreciation.
Thank you God and thank you for continuing to bless us all.
