Yes I said it CANCER SUCKS. We are all aware that the month of October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Sometimes I have mixed feelings in the month of October, kinda bitter sweet. It is always a good feeling to see all the donations and advertisments about Breast Cancer and the fight for a cure of this terrible disease. My prayer is that in this life time there will be a cure for breast cancer. The bitter part of the month of October is it always remind me of my own diagnosis of breast cancer. Yes I'm a breast cancer survivior.
In December of 2007 I woke up one morning excited to start my day I had already prepared my Things To Do List for the day. I felt I had a great life, marriage, job, family I was loving life. While standing in my closet pondering over the perfect outfit to wear to work, I felt a sore spot under my right armpit. Yes it was a lump. After confirming with my hubbie that we had both felt a lump my first priority when I made it to work was to call my doctor. She scheduled me for an immediate appointment with a Breast Specialist. That appointment lead to numerous test, a ultra sound, a MRI, and final a biopsy on December 27, 2007. I waited to hear my results, but GOD had already prepared me for the news that I would soon receive. On December 31, 2007 I called the doctor to find out my result from the biopsy, the receptionist informed me that the doctor would have to call me back. Yes I did receive a call from the doctor thrity mintues later with my results.
December 31,2008 is a day that I will never forget, that is the day that I received my diagnois that I had Breast Cancer. Wow on New Year's Eve, was I suppose to be getting prepared to enjoy a great evening with the hubbie? Actually I was at work and had just received news that would change my life forever. The first thing I did was call the hubby who was also at work, we both decided to leave work and meet at home. The thrity mintue drive home was a blank, the only thing that I remember was this. As I approached a red light I looked over to see a young lady driving next to me, I questioned GOD and asked why me and asked him why not her? I did not know this young lady at all. Understand that I would not wish BC on my enemy if I had one, but I questioned GOD, because I just did'nt understand. But I immediately thought why not ME!!! I knew that this was my lot and I would have to deal with it, however I knew that I would be ok with GOD.
