I was diagnosed on 3/31/2014, a day like any other and one that will forever change my life. I was in complete shock and disbelief how could I have cancer, it has to be wrong? I was about to get married in 4 months, how can I get through all of this? Well, I didn't have a choice, I had to chose my battles and prepare to fight cancer and win! My fiancé and I decided to elope and get married 4 days before my surgery. I don't know what I would do without him. He is truly a super hero! This is truly a test of for "better and worse" that's for sure!!

I've had my mastectomy and lumpectomy, diagnosed stage 2A. I've had a very rough start with chemo, causing blood levels to drop very low and blood clots. And as if it couldn't get worse, my employer of 8 years terminated my medical insurance when I went out on medical leave! UGH!!!!

All I can say is I'm so VERY grateful to all my loving family and friends who have been my army in helping me through this battle...

XOXO
