Announcement
Out of all the words I’ve written in my life, I’d hoped to never write words like these. Life has a way of making you face your worst fears sometimes, though, so here goes: I have breast cancer. A week from today I’ll be having a mastectomy. I don’t know much more about my treatment to come. I expect I’ll need chemo. Hoping not, but it seems likely.
I am 39 with no family history of cancer. I’m still under the age for which they recommend yearly mammograms. I’m lucky we found this. And we only found it because I listened to my body. Pay attention to your intuition. TRUST YOURSELF. And get your mammogram. Every. Year.
Any good thoughts or prayers you have for me and my family as we enter this journey are appreciated. I fully intend to KICK CANCER’S ASS. I fully intend to MAKE IT THROUGH THIS and I intend to do it with a positive attitude and hope in my heart.

Sending you healing thoughts!
You have a great attitude so you will kick its ass!!!
My sister had breast cancer too at your age. She is now in great health and still kicking it's ass 7 years later! I hope you get well soon. :)
I had Breast Cancer 16 years ago and am still cancer free so it can be done even though mine was advanced. Keep up the positive attitude and know that getting it out of our body is the best option. If you do chemo, just remember to take your anti nausea drugs BEFORE you start feeling ill. Once you start feeling ill its too late. You're in my prayers.
Wishing you all the best. Praying for strength and comfort for you and your family.
I hope everything goes ok. And that you win the battle.
Cancer is such a scary word. It scared the hell out of me when they told me about mine. I am 2 1/2 out. The one of many things that helped was the the community of health care profesionals who help, some I swear are saints. You have a lot of readers who care about you, and we all, I am sure send healing energy your way. You are in my prayers.
Wishing you the best and my prayers are with you.
