I was diagnosed with Stage 2a Triple Negative breast cancer on May 28th, 2014. I am a 41 year old woman with a incredible family and a new beautiful grandson. I am also a competitive athlete that loves motivating others to be the best they can be. I begin chemotherapy in two weeks followed by radiation, I already had my surgery. I feel so positive through all of this, I feel it has been a wake up call in many ways - yes I have moments of fear but then I am reminded of the strength of the human spirit and Gods healing - it is very real. I am confident I will be healed and better than ever. Keep the positive attitude and take great care of yourself - and eat well. One of the most difficult parts of all this is that it stops you in your tracks and rocks your world. It is a blink of an eye in the big scheme of things, I believe. I have a fundraiser in place to help with finances through all of this on GoFundMe.com under: Melissa Howard. If anyone feels compelled, I thank you so very much in advance. We have to all support each other and motivate one another to just put one foot in front of the other till the end of the journey, and we will be back to health and better than ever! Keep the faith!
