When I found out

I found out I have stage 3 breast cancer on January 3rd 2014. Yes 3 days into the New Year. I have been having mammogram every year since I was 37 because I had a cyst in my breast. In the same breast that I have cancer in. I had just had a mammo and the letter I got after my mammo was everything was fine see you in a year. I was in shock after, I had just took my daughter to college that August. I have to see my daughter graduated I have to see me son grow up. My kids are 19 and 13 I can't leave them. So now I am 5 chemo down with one more to go. Then surgery then radiation. I have gotten through this with the strength of my Lord and Savior, my kids, friends and family. I know my journey is not over yet but I will get through this. I pray every day for all the people that are fighting this fight.
