Susan G Komen Race for the Cure

I had a blast. This was my first time as a survivor participating in Race for the Cure. Thanks to all my supporters who came out bright and early on that Saturday morning. The atmosphere was full of survivors, pink and happiness. Thanks to my employer Waste Management who sponsored me this year for the walk. My team was awesome and we had a wonderful time, surrounded by the spirit of all the survivors and people currently going through breast cancer. This was a great experience for me. Meeting other women and watching them as they walk with pride and hope. Pink is more than just a color. It gives you something to fight and live for everyday.

Save a Life

Blogging has become a huge part of my recovery process. I spend my days at a coffee shop or at home writing. I was little hesitant about doing it at first but I wanted to share my experience while going through treatment. It was difficult to find people around my age that was going through similar experiences as me so" Living with Breast Cancer" blog was born.
The media portrays cancer as being depress and sick majority of time. For some that may be the case, but for me it has been so much more. I am truly finding myself and bonding with a community that is full of strong beautiful people. I started this blog to show the beauty of this disease and the good times. Now, I will never take away that there are bad times and people have different definitions of what living through breast cancer is like but for me I feel like I am living for the first time. I love opening up the conversation about breast cancer for young women and not treating it like a family secret. In order for us to create awareness and early detection, we have to talk about it because you never know your story may save someone else's life.

Girls night out

Having a great supportive group of girlfriends is much needed. These gals make me forget what I am going through and I can always count on them to have fun, let loose and be myself . Days like this will always seem to get you through even when you are feeling tired. Always make time for life because when you look back, its moments like this you will cherish for a lifetime.

Weekend Getaway

My weekend was full of fun. I needed to get away so I visited my friend in Houston, Texas. She is big and pregnant and it was great to think about someone else happiness. Sometimes you just need to get away from all the doctors visits and treatments. It was good while it lasted. Talking to your friends on the phone is one thing, but sometimes you need to be around for girl talk or just hang out. I took the Megabus, which was great because it gave me time to myself and time to reflect on life.
The doctors want you to be cautious while having a low blood count (meaning my immune system is really low) but that does not mean that should shield yourself from the world. I take it one day at a time and that's good enough for me. Just make sure to SANITIZE, SANITIZE!
