Decision Made, No Regrets

A year and a half ago when I was diagnosed with breast cancer I knew immediately that I was going to have a bilateral mastectomy, even before finding out about the second tumor.

A Life Worth Living Again

Cancer - that ugly word that nobody ever expects to hear. How do I even begin to explain how deeply this disease has affected me even now after I can say I've beaten it?

Feeling Motivated

I haven't had the motivation to give an update for a while. The last few weeks have been challenging to say the least. Last Tuesday the cosmetic surgeon finally removed the drains and set me free! It was just one day shy of three weeks of having those hand grenades dragging me down. I'd never… Continue reading Feeling Motivated
