Hi,My name is DeAnn Lewis .I am a truckers wife , mom of 5 ,stepmom of 1 and a grandma of 1. On 12/ 10/2013 I felt like my whole world was over when i was told i had breast cancer.days before i found out i found a lump on my left breast. On 12/11/13 i went to see the breast cancer dr. confirmed it as the first doctor did i had breast cancer i .After that appt .all the testing started I went back to her on the 1/6/14 she told me the only place i had cancer was in my left breast and that the next step was surgery.on 1/14/14 i had same day surgery they removed my left breast .On 1/ 20/14 I went back to the dr she took out the drains ,the stitches,and every other staple .I go back on the 27th and get the rest of my staples out and i have to go on the 30th to the radiation oncologist and on 31 to see the medical oncologist to see what they recommend next .Never did i imagine something like this happening to me or my family for that matter i have meet and had such a amazing support system like i do from family,friends and even total strangers that i dont even know along my journey i have learned so much about myself through all this Im one tough strong cookie . S o my advice to anyone going through this dont be so hard headed as i am everyone is there to help.Before all this i was a mom that did everything while my husband was on the road he is a truck driver .So i hope sharing my story will help someone else and if u can be support to someone else I promise to be here.
