I feel like I am going to puke. I have triple negative breast cancer and I am so upset. It is the hardest to treat, highest chance of mortality, and highest chance of reoccurance. Oh and the cherry on the cake???? Oh yeah it has the highest chance to spread to the bones and lungs. I swear, can’t I get a damn break. What sort of Twilight Zone am I in??? Make this all go away please…someone.

ABOUT THIS BLOG:
I wanted to start this blog so other women, family and friends could see a real perspective into the life of cancer. Not just what I am experiencing, but what others may experience or see loved ones experience themselves. I am a mom of two girls (Kaylee 10, and Sophie 4) We live in Rolla, MO and all of my treatments will be here at Phelps County Regional Medical Center.
I was diagnosed on January 16, 2013, at 5:15 p.m. A moment in time I believe the Earth stopped turning, and my heart stopped beating. Even if it was for a split second. This blog was started January 21, 2013 at 6:22 p.m. when I was ready to speak. (and when my S.I.L. Claire was ready to help with the tech stuff:) I hope you enjoy taking this journey with me. I WILL beat Breast Cancer!

Taking it from the top 
Don’t lose hope! I know you will beat this. We are all pulling for you. I’ll be in town on Friday evening. I’d be happy to keep the girls for a sleepover at Nana’s house while I’m there. We’ll keep things upbeat for them so you don’t have to worry about them too. You just concentrate on you.
