I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in October of 2004, and was able to overcome this horrible disease for over 4 years.

Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with metastasized Breast Cancer on both ovaries in October of 2008, and then in my brain the day before Thanksgiving 2008. After 2 surgeries, I was hospitalized for over a month with a pulmonary embolism - a devastating complication of my cancer. I also was on steroids, which were not only debilitating, but caused my body to develop a dependency on them. After 5 months, I was finally able to free myself of these drugs.

Currently I am cancer free and recovering. I am currently in Physical Therapy and have undergone 18 weeks of chemotherapy. I am now down to a single maintenance oral chemotherapy drug that I take daily. I also give myself twice-daily injections of blood thinners to prevent any further life threatening blood clots.
