You always hear about others stories and watch others go through it, but no one ever thinks it’s going to happen to them. Especially me, when I was caught off guard and within a blink of an eye, I received my cancer diagnosis. Alone at the doctor’s office, because I thought I was just going for a follow up appointment after surgery.
I am extremely thankful for my amazing husband, my mother & Vinnie, my sister Danielle & my brother-in-law Eddie, my sister Stephanie and brother-in-law Rob, and my nieces Alyssa & Alex, who have all been my rocks every step of the way. I wouldn’t be able to go through my journey without all their love & support!
The outpouring amount love, guidance, and support I’ve received these past months from my family, friends, and colleagues, has constantly reminded me that I am not alone in this journey. The kindness they have all shown me during my time in need will never be forgotten and I am forever grateful!
I am forever thankful for my team of surgeons and surgical ICU nurses for walking me through every step of this process, answering all my questions & concerns, and most of all getting me through surgery without any complications.
As I reflect on how much I’ve been through this past year, multiple mammograms, biopsies, MRIs, a lumpectomy, a CAT scan, a bone scan, my Breast Cancer diagnosis, a double mastectomy, and reconstruction, I can’t help but be so grateful for early detection.
