In 2005 I heard those four little words "you have breast cancer". The tears came instantly. I didn't hear another word the Dr. was saying. Shock took over my very existance for that moment. Those four little words suddenly became huge. One of those words took over my life for several months as I fought to win the war against it. During that fight I had a mastectomy of the left breast and was fortunate to be able to have reconstructive surgery. I am now cancer free and have been for four years. I hope I never have to hear those four little words again and I hope that other women never have to hear them either. Thank you to the people who provide and support the cause to cure this terrible desease.
My friends and family tell me that I am their hero but I disagree, they are MY hero's every one of them. They stood beside me and encouraged me every step of the way. Thank you.
So I say to every one, hang in there ladies, there is hope.
