I am a 29 year old woman with a wonderful husband a beautiful step-daughter and a 16 month old. In February 2010 my 16 month old elbowed me and felt a little bit of pain. I checked myself and i found a lump on my left breast. Thought nothing of it cause i am only 29. 2 weeks later my husband felt it and made a doctors appointment for me. Had a ultra sound and mammogram. The mammogram showed it LOUD and CLEAR. There it was! I was told to go for a biopsy in 3 spots. Told me they would call in 48hrs. I got the call in 24. My heart sank when I he told me I had breast cancer. All i could do at the time was call my husband right away cause I was watching my 16 month old that day and did not want to startle her. I go for surgery (masectomy) next week April 29th. I am on my way to surviving this. It took me about a week to get it together. I was done crying and ready to LIVE. I am staying as positive as I can right now. I have a lot of support from my family and friends. The Breast Center that i am going too are also very supportive. I AM READY to fight. I AM READY to survive. I AM READY to keep living. I AM READY!
