I'm Tiffany, a 33 year old mom to three of the best kids in the world. I have been with my Milton for 15 years now. My life hasn't always been bliss. I was 31, working at the House of Blues, partying and really screwing up my priorities. One Friday night, as I lay on my bed, my breasts had been hurting and I only reached up to kind of massage them for some relief. I found a HUGE lump in my left breast. Everything happened so fast. I got my first mammogram, then a needle core biopsy, then the words that would change me forever inside and out. I had invasive lobular carcinoma, and all of this happened in a weeks time. There was a surgery, both breasts..gone..scars, hurt..How did this happen? No one in my family had it, ever. I was then told it was triple negative cancer, a dangerous cancer with limited treatments and a smaller survival rate. It was too much, chemo, radiation, doctors all the time..I turned to God and never let go, begging for a healing. I got 5 months cancer free and this January, it came back. I know God is protecting me, no matter how this turns out. The selfish side of me wants to live long and hold my grandbabies. My best friend, Darla, helps me so much, I could never live without her. I am still fighting, trying to stay ever hopeful. My heart pains for the women of our select club. We all hold on to the hope and fight the fear. I am not always strong, but my loved ones and the Lord carry me..and that is all I need. The pic is me on the left and Darla on the right..She showed her support for sure!
