CHARLIE & CHANCE

Currently going through the motions of breast cancer at times can be hard. It has been over 6 months now with many tests mammograms, X-rays, MRI's and 3 Biopsies. I know now how other women/men young and old can get very frustrated with the way things are handled in the medical field.
I call my lump Charlie. They are the reason I fight and continue to fight this cancer that is now plaguing my body.
Now, I will undergo a Mastectomy Chemo & Radiation. This new breast I call Chance because we have a chance now of a New Improved Better Life.
All I want to do now and always have is to let others be aware how important it is to go do the check ups.
I'm writing just to say how I appreciate your web site and the on going support and wiliness to continue to help others out there. Not only you your family, friends, co-workers & pets are affected.
My god! I never knew how loved I was until this terrible cancer attacked me. My day care made me a ribbon and they put the names of all the kids on it. It was breath taking.
My son wrote me a special note. Then I lost it.
One day I hope to share my story with other women/men and help them fight this Breast Cancer. I fought many things in my life this has got to be the most challenging one but I'm a good fighter! I fight for my right to stay alive for all of mankind to show all women/men can beat this.
Take Care God Bless!
