Today I woke up in tears! I woke up hoping this was all just a bad dream. Bit this bad dream is my realty. As I wipe my tears I remind myself that I am lucky to be alive. Although I am very grateful I have to admit that I am sad today. I am so disfigured and my body has so many different feelings. The tingling, some numbness and pain. The feeling that I still have breast and then realizing I don’t.

I know all this is temporal and the goal is to be cancer free. But in the moment there are so many emotions. We have to find a cure. There is way to many people suffering from cancer. Everywhere I turn if it is not a commercial for some cancer med it is news of someone else who has been diagnosed.

I have been able to fight by the grace of God, the support of my family, great friends and colleagues! I am so blessed! I thank every single person that has reached out. The kindness and love that I have received has been so overwhelming! It has made this fight just a little more bearable.

I got this! I am blessed!
