On the other side...

At 29 years old, only a few months after our 2nd daughter was born, I found out I had aggressive Stage 3 breast cancer. The doctors all agreed that I'd have to be aggressive to fight it. There was so much to live for-- I had an amazing husband, a loving extended family, and two daughters who needed their Mommy! After a double mastectomy, 8 months of chemo, and 2 months of radiation, I was cancer free! I am on Tamoxifen for the next few years but other than that I don't have any more treatments! Last August I got breast reconstruction and my hair started growing back dark and curly--completely different from my previous long blonde locks! I look "normal" now, people who meet me now have no idea what I went through for three years just to be the mom, wife, and woman I am today! Mary Grace is now 7 years old, and Trinity is going to be 4 in a month! After that journey, I guess I felt like we could do anything if we could survive cancer together. So when my husband was laid off from his corporate job, we decided we had nothing to lose and started our own business~! We cashed in every last bit of our savings, put our energy toward promoting his new business, and now we are in our 8th month of owning a very fast growing, successful and popular computer services company! Our family had to go through so much to get to this point, but we MADE IT! I have my life, we have our company, the girls have a mom and dad who love them, and life just can't get any better! I'm so glad I am still around to see each and every day with them!
