Diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in October of 2013 was the last thing we expected. Breast cancer does not run in my family. Then in November of 2013 it was revealed through a PET scan that the cancer had spread to my bones. In December of 2013 I was started on an oral form of chemo along with other medications to keep the cancer from spreading more, and medications to combat the side effects of those medications. Then in February 2014 after another biopsy, we were told I now had the cancer in both breasts. I was put on infusion chemo on top of all my other medications with a port insertion in April of 2014. I recently went through another PET scan. And although I will be going through a 7th session of chemotherapy tomorrow, we were given some good news finally. My cancer markers have decreased from a 137 in November of 2013 down to a 51 as of this month. I contribute my healing, first and for most to God almighty, then the love, prayers, and support of my family and friends! Plus I must say I have the spirit of a pit bull in a chihuahuas body. But mostly, I thank the Lord for showing me how to help heal myself through prayer and His guidance. So those of you who might be struggling with your diagnosis a bit. Pray and fight and Believe that God will heal you along with your doctors and your treatment. Love and prayers for healing to all!!!
