In November 2013 I was diagnosed with left breast cancer stage 2b, the cancer spread to two of my lymph nodes buying me some radiation time. I underwent bilateral mastectomies, BRAC testing which was negative and CT PET scan. I'm not worrying about reconstruction or implants I'm just trying to survive. I completed 8 sessions of chemo 4 Adriamycin Cytoxin and 4 Taxol treatments. During the treatments I remained as strong as possible even walking 2 miles never giving up. My family and friends, co-workers always pushing me through it all.
I feel great, on my last 4 treatments I would have the chemo, eat lunch and go to work. I didn't let it beat me.
Ladies don't be afraid to fight back, you're not alone. As you can see in this picture I have so much to live for. I'm a 45 year old, I work in the radiology department and my friends/coworkers performed my mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy. Keep fighting no matter what and never give up, keep moving and have faith. I don't know why this happened to me but I wasn't going to let it beat me.
I love this picture, my family wearing PINK!!!
