I was diagnosed with Stage 1 Breast Cancer in April of 1999. The doctor told my Husband and I that it was a very aggressive cancer and that he suggested a mastectomy. I had already seen this Cancer in my family and I was almost sure that he had made a mistake. When it finally sunk in I cried for quite a while. I had already had Cervical cancer at age 26yrs. and I believed that I could not be going through this again. My Family, were the rocks that got me through this and my strong faith in God. I prayed to him and asked him to please help me through this that I could not do this alone. I had a mastectomy and did not have Chemo or Radiation, (that was my choice) I took Tamoxifen for 5 years. I was recently Diagnosed with Bladder Cancer and I am doing well. I would just like to tell anyone who is going through this to keep your head up, Pray a lot and stay Positive, Fight with all you got and Lean on your Family and Friends for Support. My Prayers are with all of you. God Bless.
