I was 37 and six and a half months pregnant when I found a rather large lump in my breast. Because I was pregnant, I saw my Dr. the following week and he immediately sent me to a surgeon. The surgeon biopsied the lump and one week later, I underwent surgery for a mastectomy. Six weeks later Erika was induced to facilitate starting the chemotherapy. It was all such a whirlwind and people ask how in the world I did it and I truly don't know except that the human body and mind summons the will to take care of what it has to do and get through it. Erika was not a "planned" baby and I will always think of her as my guardian angel, because without her, I may have put off seeing the Dr. and waited too long. Now I am two years out and still cancer free and raising not only that beautiful little girl, but her six other siblings as well! ALWAYS have any suspicous lump checked out immediately!!!!
