I was told this past March that I have breast cancer... The scariest two words in my life... I opted for a bilateral mastectomy and underwent that surgery 2 weeks ago.
I do not regret my decision for one second. Even though recovery has been difficult, I have a one and five year old that need me... I have a loving husband who has stood by my side and been my rock thru all of this...
Words cannot express how much I love my family & without their support, I would not have the strength to get thru all of this... My journey is not over yet... I still have to have my reconstruction surgery as well as possible radiation come July...I have read all of these amazing stories on this website and I want to commend each and every one of you that have battled and continue to battle this terrible disease.
All of you inspire me and I am grateful for each and every one of your stories of survival.
It has taken me awhile to post my story, because I still feel as though I have not suffered enough to call myself a cancer survivor... My cancer was detected very early. I feel guilty. I am sure many will read this and think I am crazy... Rest assured, I am not... I pray for a cure and support each and every one of you who are traveling the same road...May faith guide you and may love surround you...in my eyes you are all super heroes....
