The end of 2007 I was diagnosed with stage 4 mestastic breast cancer. Of course I was scared and confused but knew I was blessed enough to have God, family, and friends that would help get me through this. I had a bilateral mastectomy, chemo and radiation.
My wonderful sister Christie, my mom Shirley, my niece Stephanie and my brother in law Tim were by my side cheering me on though it all. My dear friends JoAnn, Kristy and Nancy, and Gisele called with love and support and brought meals. My family did cancer walks, helped other patients and did all they could to raise awarness. This cancer took 18 months of their lives too, and not once did they ever compain or let me down. I am now a year cancer free, and we are all still trying to help where we can. My mom still goes to every doctor's appointment. My wonderful devoted sister is still my cheerleader and is now a volunteer with the ACS and is helping other women feel beautiful during treatment. Hang in there sisters, we will overcome. God's Blessings
