June of 2007 I found a lump in my left Breast, I went to the doctors and found out I had cancer it was just two days after my 42nd birthday. I went through surgery, chemo and radiation. I'm in the Marine Corps and I am so happy that I had the support from my Marine Corps family I couldn't have done it without them. My husband John was by my side all the away through and still here supporting me. I am now two years cancer free and still holding strong. Thanks to everyone who support the cancer research and that click it everyday on the website to donate to the cost of having a mamogram done. Chemo was the hardest time of it all, I lost all my hair was extremely sick and lost weight I didn't need to lose. Being strong and of course having a support network of friends to help you get through this is the key to your success. I am back to full duty now and just return from Iraq. I refuse to let this beat me!
