In November of 2013 my life changed, I received the worst phone call of my life. I still remember those words "I'm sorry you have breast cancer". Confused and scared of course I was in shock but I was afraid of the next step. I had a double mastectomy in JANUARY of 2014 and because of two positive lymph nodes I had a lymph node dissection almost 3 weeks after my mastectomy. Those results were good all my 23 lymph nodes that were extracted were negative. Finally some good news. Currently I am undergoing Chemotherapy it wipes me out but I know that after this battle I can stand up and say proudly that I am a breast cancer SURVIVOR!
