In March 2019 just days shy of my 33rd birthday I was diagnosed with DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ). Although unfortunate this was very lucky as DCIS is considered a stage 0 breast cancer and some would even argue not a cancer at all. Based on the size of my tomour my medical team decided that a single mastectomy would be the best route, and I opted for a removing both breasts for piece of mind. Breast cancer is tricky and often times testing and imaging cannot give you the whole picture of what is going on inside. Post surgery my doctors did find that a piece of the tumour was in fact in stage 1. Surgery gave us great margins and no family history along with negative genetic testing meant I got off "easy" and did not need any further treatment. The process did require two more surgeries, the reconstrucion aspect of the situation.
All in all it was very scary! I was a mom of two little kids and never thought that at only 32 I could have breast cancer. Life had a different plan. I had no history of this in my family and it was just a total and complete toss of a coin. I was lucky to have lots of support around me at this time, a great husband, an understanding boss, in laws and amazing freinds. Some are not as lucky to have such reasources. I walk for me, I walk for them, I walk for those who were not as lucky as I was. In hopes that my donation (with your help) aids in reaserch and medical treatment. Hope you join us for the walk or just find it in your heart to donate a little bit to help me reach my goal~
Even though we all have our own reasons for joining Making Strides, we'll take down breast cancer because we're in it together. Our team is fundraising for the American Cancer Society's support services and lifesaving research.
Believe us, every dollar really does count, so we're asking for your help. Please donate or join our team today, because together we can end breast cancer.
