victor not a victim

One of the many dates that changed my life was Nov 1st 2013. Those 3 little words you have cancer rang in my head like it was all a dream. Rewind a couple of years and I remember my mom telling me those same 3 words about herself. She lost her battle 5 months after she was diagnosed. And I that me losing my son in 05 to SIDS was hard or my father committing suicide was hard but I now know it is what I was put through to become a victor not a victim. Stage 2 IDC breast cancer is now my new challenge. And like the other things I endured I will over come this too. But being homeless with 2 kids trying to fight it is a challenge in its self. Everyday trying to make life normal is tough. We have no family to help us except for some dear friends that I don't know what I would do without. I am of way done with my chemo and still have the surgery and radio to look toward to. My old co workers started a fund raiser for me on give forward.com the support I am receiving is such a blessing as that will go towards a home for my kids and I. So reach out and take any help that comes your way
