I am proud to say I am a survivor. I had breast cancer I did chemo and radiation but what I think Id like everyone to know is when you find a lump don't listen to what you read or what people tell you. Please go to your family doctor right away. Let them check it out. I had a very painful lump in my left breast . I read in a well known magazine that painful lumps are not cancerous. I had a friend tell me that not to worry she has five and she plays with them. I'm not bashing this friend, I love her to death. I didn't go to the doctor right away. The lump just kept getting worse! So I decided this might be something. I went to the doctor and from then on my life went crazy for a while tests checking the lump as it turned out it was cancer. I am very lucky! I am a survivor! Get those mammograms on time. Be strong be proud be cancer free!
One day at time has been our motto since the beginning over a year ago. It hasn't always been easy, and there were times I felt like not fighting. I have learned that life is dealing with the cards you are given, I could not have gotten through this without God, Steven, my wonderful son Kyle and the support of my girlfriends, Tracy and Jean Kaye and the prayers of many others. Everyday is a new start, make the most of it. Enjoy all the little things and laugh as much as possible!
