I went to several emergency rooms, and everytime they turned me away with a prescription for pain killers. I was taking so many pain killers for my pain and the horrible fevers I was becoming delirious and everything became a blur, I don't remember a lot of things that happened to me. I finally ended up at yet another emergency room, but this time I told them I would not leave without some answers on what was wrong with my back.

My Oncologist actually had an office in that hospital, so that helped me to get the help I needed. After a CT scan of my back, they moved me to my own room. It turned out to be tumors that had spread from my breast to my back. At this point I weighed 96 pounds. I stayed in the hospital 2 weeks for testing, and I had been extremely dehydrated.

I started radiation and after that I started my chemo.

It has been 6 months since chemo, and I'm thrilled to say that my cancer has stopped spreading and I'm getting better. I had my meeting with my surgeon today, and we will be removing my breast. I am bummed because the whole breast will be gone and I will need reconstruction of my breast and my nipple. So hopefully this will be over soon.

My life has completely changed, and I don't look at this experience in a bad way. I look at it as if this was suppose to happen to me, so that I can help others. I don't wanna be vain and party anymore. I have realized there is so much more to life than that.

There are so many people suffering from this disease, and I wanna help. I have learned a lot from people's experiences, and I love going to my treatments and talking to women who are going through what I'm going through.

Through this website I learned not to be scared of my surgery and reconstruction of my breast and to look forward to getting better and all the great things that are to come in life by just living, breathing and enjoying the people and the things around me. Thank you for reading my story, and please tell everyone you know that cancer sees no age all women should get checked so that they dont wait too long and go through what I went through!
