I’ve heard this twice and it makes so much sense! I knew from the time I was diagnosed that what I am going through needs to be more and mean more. So my message is that no one should rely only on test results and ignore that gut feeling.

Both mammograms and ultra sound came back fine. Blood work that checks tumor markers also came back fine. Core biopsy came back suspicious. But I knew that this was not fine. I felt the lump and I pushed. I wonder what would have happen if I didn’t push to see the surgen? My case is not the usual case but then again everyone’s journey is unique. It is so important to do breast exams monthly. You and only you knows your body. Yes, continue to have mammograms and test but ultimately it is your body.

So my mess is my message! Put a reminder on your phones to check yourself. I now start the count down.

Due to my diagnosis TNBC stage 3c the chances of reoccurrence is high. So if I can stay NED for the next 2 years my chances of survival are greater and if I go five years then I am out of the woods. So my clock started ticking 10/7/19 as the clock starts once treatment is over.

I still await the acceptance of a trail and have surgery schedule for early 2020 but I got this and it won’t come back. I will continue to fight for myself, my family and friends!

I am blessed! I got this!
