Without defeat so far, I am a 2x Cancer survivor. GO TEAL!!! Bring it on,if need be, because cancer,"C" will not bring this spirit down. I have an amazing Mom who dropped everything(work, house, life etc.) to come and help me & husband as WE ALL went through this unknown road. I went through MASSIVE surgury and CHEMO in Jan of 07'. I was told that with the toxicity level I would probably lose the function of my only ovary. I was devastated as my jusband and I had been going to the infertility clinic for over a year. My husband always has been the one to take bad news and make it not as bad, even convert the bad news to good news. How he manages to do this, I am not sure. It was so difficult as I knew I would lose my hair. My mom, friends and my husband always looked past me being bald. I found out I was 2mo. pregnant in Aug 08'. A 1 yr 1/2 later, after my son was born, I had a relapse for this "C" in Aug 10', I asked my oncologist to try to save any of my reproductive organs that he could. I woke up from surgery and my Mom and husband were there and my first question was," Was anything saved and mom just nodded, NO. I learned I had a complete hysterectomy. Giovanni's daddy is in Afganistan protecting our country as a civilian contractor. He always shows me his love.
TO ALL MY CANCER SURVIVORS OUT THERE, NEVER LOOSE HOPE! BE STRONG.
