My story began 2002 when I found a lump in my right breast. I was 55 and enjoying being a grandmother. Stage III, surgery, chemo, and radiation. I had the support of my husband, sister, circle, and friends. We retired to a new home active life style and enjoying life to the fullest. In October I thought I had arthritis in my right hip. Had x-rays that supported that. It was not arthritis, but a tumor between my pelvis and hip bone. (Breast Cancer in the bone). After a hosptial stay, radiation, I was home but still in pain and on a walker. My new friends here have cleaned for me, made dinners, prayed, sat with me and helped me to laugh again. Not sure where this journey is going but I am going to fight Breast Cancer to the best of my ability. I do feel blessed that I had 8 healthy years to see 2 more grandchilden born. I hope to walk (even with a walker) this spring both for Susan Koman, and Relay for Life. We need to FIND A CURE!
