My Story
This year, I joined the Komen community and registered for the Susan G. Komen MORE THAN PINK Walk. This year hit harder to home than ever and I want a chance to give back to all those that have been helping me through my journey.
On Christmas Eve, Jaxon and I were playing when he elbowed my left breast, that’s the moment I found the lump. From there, everything has changed. I was immediately diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer, a very aggressive form and tested positive for the BRCA1 genetic mutation. To say Jaxon is my guardian angel is an understatement.
I have two phases of chemo to get through, surgeries for both a double mastectomy and full hysterectomy with oomphtarectomy and radiation this year. I’ve had a few setbacks so far, but continue to fight because I have no other choice.
