I was diagnosed with breast cancer in May of 2009 at age 43. I just completed 16 rounds of chemotherapy and am getting ready to start radiation therapy in a few weeks. I am thankful to God that I had my yearly mammogram last year. I almost did not get it because of lack of insurance. I had a mammogram six months previous to that and no cancer was found. I have kept a positive attitude and faith in God that by his stripes I am healed. I thank my six children and my husband for their support during this difficult period of my life. I am now ready for phase two.
