On March 30, 2011, I was diagnosed with Stage 3B breast cancer. Since that date I've had a double mastectomy, lymphadenectomy, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and others that total up to 9 surgeries. I've had 6 plus rounds of chemo, 3 plus iron infusions.
I now have to take tamoxifen (a small dosage of chemo) for 10 years. I have kidney failure, high blood pressure, and 2 lesions on my spine. Oh and a psychiatrist that says I have PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I have insomnia and mood swings. I'm on happy pills, sleeping pills, and xanax.
And ALL the residual illnesses and shenanigans that come from ALL surgeries and things I named above. Lol (it ain't funny)
We're not going to talk about the family, friends, and love relationships that walked away. Nor how breast cancer tore, hurt, and beat down the ones who stayed.
Behind the smile: YOU DON'T WANT to look like this and I DIDN'T wake up like this and You DON'T want to go through this!
EARLY DETECTION IS KEY! BREAST CANCER DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST RACE, AGE, GENDER, NOR ECONOMIC STATUS.
ITS NOT SELFISH!!!
Get a mammogram! Its worth the few minutes so you don't have to deal with this unwanted temporary roommate name breast cancer for years.
October is Breast Cancer Month....but
I FIGHT EVERYDAY!
