I Support Breast Cancer Awareness and Finding a Cure

My beautiful sisters and brother...I have cried for 24 hrs. I thought I had this under control but the realization it is actually happening has taken its toll.

Today was my meeting with the plastic surgeon. I heard what I knew I would hear. For anyone doing this without a choice, I send you love and compassion because you have more to deal with than loss of feeling and nipples.

I will list all the things I am grateful for:

I have health insurance and was able to get tested.
I will have a 95% cure rate.
I never have to have a mammogram, mri, or ultrasound again.
I have a daughter who has a strong example.
I will live.

The tough stuff:

I will lose the feeling in my breast.
I will lose my nipples.
I have to go through at least two surgeries.


Grateful wins.

Even so, I think I will continue crying for now. It's a lot for me.

Love...from me to all who read. This journey is a hard. I feel your support.
