Just recently diagnosed for DCIS Hormone receptor positive on July 9, 2024. Like many women, It came to me as a shock from a normal routine mammogram to getting a call from your primary doctor notifying that your biopsy is positive for breast cancer. I cried so hard almost dropping the phone, my whole world collapsed in an instant. I didn’t realize how heartbreaking it is until someone tells you have cancer. It is very emotional and devastating. Although, we hear it all time, that friends or coworkers get cancer. And we reassure them that they’ll get better. It will not hit you at all until you realize when you have cancer. It can be very difficult to accept. You feel broken. And I am this emotional whirlpool whenever I go to my doctor appointments to attending Sunday Mass, I cannot help but cry. I was enjoying life, my family & friends. I was enjoying work & making new friends. I loved to coordinate planning parties and games and certainly loved to help people and contribute my own time and resources. I was definitely not ready for this and was not ready to face this alone. But I have my family, I have to be strong for the next few months. I know it will be a long road ahead….Praying and hoping I will get through this…Pink Heroes Fight Strong 🎀
