breast cancer

Hi! This has been a very difficult year for me to say the least ,but I can say this…. Wow! I never knew I was such a Strong, Determined Warrior. I was diagnosed in February 2024 with invasive breast cancer just 4 months after my cleared mammogram. I accidentally found the 2 tumors. Had a mastectomy April 2024 with immediate breast reconstruction. After the expander protruded through the skin, 3 infections and surgeries later, it failed. Had the expander removed. After healing from an open wound recently, from the infection, I got “The Call” I was diagnosed with melanoma. I recently had surgery to remove it and just got my stitches out and I’m cleared! (For now) It’s almost October and went for an eye exam, they found a spot behind my eye and referred me to a retina specialist. Fingers crossed, No Cancer Pleaase! I’m 44 yrs young , lol. I’m ready for this year to be over!!

You have had a n awful time. I'm hoping your most recent eye problem isn't anything too bad. You def deserve a break after all you've been through. Good luck x

Oh my,I cannot even imagine going through all that you have endured😩God can bring sufferings that lead us to bring our burdens to Him.We never truly understand God's ways because His mind is so much greater than ours.

I am saddened by all your trauma but I will pray that you have some eventual benefits from going through it.

Indeed,you must be a very strong young woman‼️
