A walk down the pink brick road...

Thirteen years ago this October, right before my 37th birthday I found out that a very small bump found in my right breast was estrogen fed cancer..hearing that "C" word was by far the scariest word I've ever heard! But actually all the tests, biopsies, mastectomy, three months of chemotherapy then reconstruction was much easier to swallow than that one stupid scary "C"
word! Because of early detection, I'm happy, healthy, alive and here to share and answer anything I can for YOU. My favorite "C" words are, children, cuddling, candy, cats, cool cars, cookies and yes even the "C" word..it's part of who I am today..strong, brave, enlightened and a lover of life! It's funny how one scary word can make you more passionate about life and leave you knowing you're a better person for it. I wouldn't trade my walk down the pink brick road for anything. ..
