ABOUT ME:
I was recently diagnosed on April 15th, 2009 with Invasive Ductile Breast Cancer.
It has been one of the scariest most exhausting emotions I have ever felt in my life. I have been taking care of my 5 year old Golden Retriever that was recently diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer. This cancer is unfortunately not curable. That news was and still is absolutely heartbreaking. I had to put down my best friend on May 26th, 2009. It was the worst day of my life!
It’s still weird to think that I thought this was going to be a good year. I think I jinxed myself and its beginning to be the complete oppostite. I just dont understand...I work hard, I’m active, eat healthy and just want to be happy. Im still trying to figure out where I went wrong. With a blink of an eye my whole life just changed.
I had my Double Mastectomy on May 12th and I've healed quickly from that.
My chemotherapy treatments started on June 11th, 2009. In a matter of two months Ive lost a piece of my body, my best friend and my hair. The one thing I haven't lost is my soul.
I am still scared to death, so confused and overwhelmed about all of this. I have a wonderful support system which Im grateful for. I know this isn’t easy for my family and friends but most of all its not easy for me. I will try my best to be patient and understanding through this evil mess.
I cannot promise that everyday will be my best day but I can promise I will try to keep a smile on my face and think positive. If you can’t take me at my worst, then you don’t deserve me at my best!
I am lucky that there is a cure and I know I will be okay! I don’t understand why this happens to individuals and sometimes I think I’m getting punished for something I’ve done in the past. For whatever reason we get this sickness there’s a reason and hopefully there’s a happy ending in sight for me.
Thank you to everyone
