It's a journey

Whoever came up with the adage, "life is a journey, not a sprint" might have had breast cancer.  There is NO WAY I could sprint anywhere, much less walk fast!

My 5 hour surgery went great! One big surprise was the surgeon did find that my cancer had spread into my main lymph node in my left arm.
In all, I had 16 lymph nodes removed.  If you want to learn more about lymph node involvement please visit the American Cancer Society's webpage to find out more.

As of now, my breast cancer is considered a stage 2, grade 3, estrogen positive and HER 2 positive cancer.

I am very thankful I had a bilateral mastectomy  and will likely have my ovaries removed after all of my cancer treatments are complete. I will start chemotherapy in 3.5 weeks so watch out world!
