September 1, 2013 I found a lump in my right breast and It was also swollen and painfull under my arm. Within the next week I had a mammogram, ultrasound and 3 biopsies. The results showed Stage III Breast Cancer (triple negative). The following week I had my port placed and was disgnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. On 1/10/14 I completed my 8th round of chemotherapy. I also had genetic testing done and am positive for BRCA2 gene. On 2/11/14 I am having a bilateral mastectomy and a total hysterectomy. I have fantastic support from my family, friends and coworkers. I WILL beat this and SURVIVE!!!
