Strength is what I know as a fighter!!



I'm Stage IV Breast Cancer and I'm awaiting for that call from my oncologist's office to tell me of a recurrence. Like blinders on a horse's face, I've learned to live in the moment because it helps me to do what I do in my daily regimen as this is my 2nd year of fighting. I've become comfortable to work with the physical changes I'm going through, never questioning if I will ever walk without a limp, to be able to reach without pain, just to get that feeling of no pain I sometimes get a surge of gets me to do what I want to do!
I choose better to best in the things I do, I choose what my immune system craves for not what I want to eat and surround myself with an abundance of support and connections that gives me a whole new world to use outside of my cancer world! Sad to say there is not enough AWARENESS.This is my second time here to tell my story from a Survivor to the Fighter I am, grateful for the contagious support near and far it's how I gain strength to push through, I escalate from the most incredible caring hearts.
