I have the pleasure of working with women every day who have breast cancer.  The pleasure is not in the cancer (of course) but in seeing strong women face what seems impossible, and fight!  Fight for their lives!  We are women hear us roar!!

 

So many hear those words every day, "I am sorry, but it is cancer".  That seems to be the most overwhelming moment of life.  The world immediately begins to spin out of control and it seems forever before it will stop again! 

 

Hang in there!  You will make it through this.  No one treatment plan or surgery is exactly like another because no one person is exactly like another.  Some women have infections, poor healing, trouble with side effects, fatigue, emotional ups and downs, anger and more.  Some women seemingly have none of the above!  Well, we are all different and we all heal different and we all react different to surgery, medications, chemo and radiation.  Don't be frustrated that you aren't the same as someone else you know or heard about.  Do the best you can do, keep plugging along, and soon you will finish this race!

 

Don't be too hard on yourself, just keep on fighting the good fight!  Hang in there my friend!!

Life is worth fighting for!
