 hi all,
I am 28,i was diagnosed with stage 2b breast cancer on june 17,lost my left breast and going through chemo now,and then radiation,with a 5 year old boy,who just started kindergarten,and a husband in denial who is acting like i just have a flu! But you know what? I dont care,im enjoying my life,meeting with friends,laughing.making jokes about the way i looked when i started losing my hair!:)im enjoying my son,playing with him,reading,coloring,even when im feeling sick and tired,i don't sleep during the day and let my boy wonder what is wrong with mommy(i never napped before). So ladies with breast cancer out there,please enjoy ur life,dont let cancer take happiness and hope and courage from you,its only a disease,like any other disease,you can fight it,there is a cure for everything,and it starts with you,what you believe,what you want. For me,i want to live long enough to see my boy a successful happy man,chances are,i won't have more kids,because i will be on hormone therapy for the next 5 years,and i was told there is a big chance i will get infertile. And you know what,i dont care either,i have a healthy beautiful boy and that is all i care about. I will fight anything and everything for him. I am getting more support from friends than im getting from my husband,and im not letting this affect me in any way,and anyone of you,don't let anything affect you,you deserve a wonderful life and you can live one if you believe enough. I feel stronger than ever,sometimes i thank god i got cancer,because i honestly saw life differently and now i know how im blessed with lots and lots of things that i never saw as a blessing! I never cried,not once since i was diagnosed,not after mastectomy,not after i shaved my head,not when my husband went on a vacation to be with his family before my first chemo and came after my second one!!(he said he needs a break!!!) and i really did not care,because i know i will beat it with or without him,and i want to be a strong mother for my little boy,he deserves that.
But tell you what,dont go and eat sushi after your chemo session,BAD IDEA!:)(i did that after my first chemo,and i just cant tell you how terrible i felt after an hour:) but it passed,couple of hours of being sick with a terrible heartburn,i was playing play-doh with my boy,and took my medication,and it passed,everything passes,nothing stays the way it is,even pain,even throwing up,even severe heartburn,just dont think about it,take your meds and enjoy life after that.I am doing this now,and will do it till the end. I deserve a good life after i lost my left breast,and i will create this life if i have to.
I pray deep from my heart for each single woman with cancer,to survive it,and  gain more strength along the way,and eventually get the life you always dreamed of.I know i will:)
God bless you all
