My story began March 27, 2014. I received the phone call from my surgeon confirming I had Stage 3a breast cancer. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. My first thought was I'm not ready to go yet. My daughters and my year and a half grandson needed me and I had to fight for them. The lumpectomy was on April 7th. Chemo was next and I am so grateful for my youngest sister who was there to take notes and ask questions for me because I was so nervous and scared. May 7th was my first chemo session and that following weekend was Mother's day. I was so tired and sick I couldn't even enjoy it. My oldest sister was there for me every week for my chemo session. Im so very grateful for my beautiful family and friends prayers.I was able to do this until August and had to stop working until October. I went back to work and started my daily radiation treatments. After 28 days I was unable to continue work and treatments doctor took since my burns were so bad. I ended up in the ER for an infection. My thanksgiving was a little painful but I was still thankful. My scans came back clean this past Monday, December 15 and had my port removed the next day. I was very emotional for the next 2 days until I went back to work on Wednesday. I received a beautiful heart felt welcome at work. My family, friends and co-workers have been so supportive! God has healed me! My advice to anyone going thru this very difficult battle is to have faith in God and NEVER EVER give up! Looking back 9 months ago I was devastated and thought I was never gonna get thru this. I'm a SURVIVOR! This courageous fight is over and I feel so much stronger! The painful nights are a thing of the past and I truly believe that I am a better person for it. Thank you Lord for allowing me the wonderful gift of life!
