It's only me, a survivor for 16 years. My story isn't a story about how I was diagnosed with a disease that can crush your spirit of joy & peace because I won't give it that satisfaction. It is a story about a survivor who at the age of 32 was told yep you have breast cancer & it is very aggressive & we need to get it out! Mind you I was at a very early stage and it did not spread. I had options, I did the radical & had my breast removed & with several surgeries I could wear a bra again. You take for granted your breasts whether they are big or small. I felt incomplete for a long time but I was so grateful to God that he was watches over me continuously. My boys were only 2 & 5 years old at the time & all I could do was to fight and live for them. I thank God everyday it was me who got the cancer and not my boys. I would not want to go though it again but I know this disease made me powerful! Jesus is my Strenghth! With Love
