My Story
This year, I joined the Komen community and registered for the Susan G. Komen MORE THAN PINK Walk.
I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer on Feb. 19, 2025. I am thankful I was up to date with my mammograms so I caught it early. I underwent a double mastectomy on May 30, 2025 and was home bound for 8 weeks recovering. Unfortunately, during my surgery six lymph nodes were removed and one came back positive. I then underwent 15 rounds of radiation. By the grace of God I had minimal side effects. To date, I am scheduled for my revision surgery in Mid November.
I am very thankful for a wonderful support system with amazing sisters, family and friends.
I never dreamed I would be a statistic. 1 in 8 women are diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I continue to pray for those women that have had to endure chemo. and more severe side effects.
