The journey began fifteen (15) ago. In September of 2000, I discovered a lump on the side of my left breast. I went to my OB/GYN doctor and because the lump moved, he said, “It’s only fatty tissue, nothing to worry about”. So, I waited for two (2) weeks and I decided to get a second (2nd) opinion. the technician was able to get a clear picture of the lump. Immediately, I was sent to the surgery clinic and had a fine needle aspiration done, and to my surprise, I was told it was cancerous.
The surgeon came in and said; “You have breast cancer and we are going
to remove your breast”. The words he
said were clear and precise; but, I couldn’t or wouldn’t comprehend. His words were like a sword cutting to the
very core of my being.
The news
was so devastating three (3)
weeks later I had a total radical mastectomy of the left breast. I knew it had
to be done to save my life,
I had
twelve (12) rounds of chemo I had twelve (12) rounds of radiation.
GOD gave
me strength to endure five (5) months of physical therapy one (1) year and
three (3) months until my hair grew back. I was HEALED AND CANCER FREE for seven (7) years and I decided to do reconstructive surgery. I made it fifteen (15) years of being cancer free.
January 2016
and I’m on the journey again I took my first round of chemo on February 15,
2016, my second was on April 15, 2015. I
lost my hair two (2) days before my second treatment.
