As you all know the past year and half has been the hardest for me. I was diagnosed with stage 3 Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer and Lobular Cancer in the SITU. I have been through multiple surgeries including lymph node removal, double mastectomy, and reconstruction this summer. I completed 5 months of aggressive chemo treatments and 28 radiation sessions. As a result of my last surgery i now have a paralyzed left vocal cord so my voice sound's hoarse like I have a sore throat!! I am likely to need surgery to fix that. I have another surgery in a month to clean up the scar tissue from reconstruction as i had an open wound all summer after DIEP Reconstruction. My journey is not over, I am on hormone suppressants and cancer blockers for the next 5 years. Recently started a medicine to prevent ostepoperosis due to the effects of treatments. This medicine knocked me out all week and i am still recovering from its effects. This year, I joined the ONE Komen community and registered for the Susan G. Komen RACE FOR THE CURE.
