edited June 2014 in Stage III Breast Cancer

Since June of 2010 when I was diagnosed with stage 3C breast cancer I have cried maybe, 5 times.

1) When I found out.
2) When I had to tell my sons, ages 16 and 20 at the time.
3) When I had to ask my husband to help me bath during chemo.
4) When I had my mastectomy, and had an accident in the bed from the dopiness of the pain pills I was on.
5) My 50th birthday.

With that being said, I have awaken every morning thanking God to have been able to wake up.
Pushing myself though each day, no matter how difficult.
Enjoying every moment I am able to spend with my family. We actually spend more time together now than we ever have before.

I have seen my oldest son graduate from college and my youngest graduate from high school.
I have so many more things to look forward to.
We have planned a wonderful trip coming up this spring that will give us all great memories to cherish for years to come.
When I go to sleep every night, I thank God for that one extra day he has given me.

I look at each day with so much promise.

Don't let this horrible disease define you.

Live your lives, ladies!!! 

Love and Blessings
Sharon
