I was diagnosed with breast cancer in June of 2022. In August of 2022 I had a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction. 

At the time of my diagnosis I knew a few things. I knew I wanted:

1. To be healthy, both physically and emotionally.

2. To nurture and cultivate my relationship with my husband.

3. To enjoying my children as they moved from their teen years into adulthood.

4. To live long enough to meet my grandchildren was my ultimate dream. 

What I didn't know was if that was the plan for me. 

I was scared, tired and overwhelmed. My therapist reminded me that while I had no control of the situation I could control my reaction to the situation. So I started working on my reaction and it helped me get through some really hard times. The pages below are my story.

I hope my journey can help you on your journey.
