No Such Thang...

Life after treatment is so different. It feels like a new world that I am just seeing for the first time. When going through treatment, all you can think of is getting back to normal and surviving,

but what is normal? 

Will your life be the same for better or for the worse?

Going through a whole year of surgeries, treatments and procedures feels like only yesterday for me. Some days, I think of what I've been through in the past year and realize "Wow I've been through some shit". Is this feeling normal? Should I feel this way?

I had a survivor-ship appointment with my doctor:

1. are you depress
2. are you experiencing pain
3. insomnia
4. are you sad
5. any new symptoms

The list goes on only to make me realize that I am not the only one who is experiencing these thoughts.

It's normal to feel alone, depress, and worried after going through something as dramatic as Cancer. When going through chemo, I had no time to think or really feel. The only thing I could do is go into survivor mode. 

So for all my Cancer survivors and fighters be strong. Living life after treatment is a new adventure! You will discover things about yourself that you never knew. It will be scary but know that life will get better only if you embrace the change.

I know we often think  "I can't wait to get back to normal" but in reality there is no normal. Only figuring out life lesson's and still having thoughts of what if........... It seems like being strong is easy during treatment, but living life after cancer is difficult.

TATA's after 3

Today was good day. It's been 3 months since I had my last reconstruction surgery. Wow! how time flies!! Pretty much, my doctor with the "gifted hands" said these girls look good. I'm so excited and happy! Never thought in a million years I would have implants. Trust, it was not by choice!

So ladies make sure to research your doctor when it comes to reconstruction surgery. This is so important. Make sure the surgeon specialize in reconstruction. NOT ALL DO! BE AWARE!

• Ask to see their work
• Look for reviews
• Ask plenty of questions( they should not mind because they want you to feel comfortable with your decision)
• If possible, find a breast surgeon and plastic surgeon that work together for these procedures.
• Last, make sure you like the surgeon. BIG DEAL!! The more you like, the happier you are about your decision.

 Choosing the silicone implant was an easy choice only because, #1 my husband liked it and #2 it gives you a better result when dealing with no breast tissue. I felt and touch the other ones, but they were too firm for my liking....... but everyone is different. 

Always remember to love the skin you are in and know that implants are only options. You do not have to get them. 

My visit's are always fun and enjoyable. I get to hear how beautiful and nice my breast look. 

What girl wouldn't want that lol..... 

So if you are every in the Dallas area, make sure to check out Dr. Landon Perry. He never disappoints.

Unwanted News

February 11th

Today marks the day when I found out I had cancer. I was working when I received the devastating news. My life change in a matter of seconds. I did not have my mother to turn to only because she does not live in Texas, but I had my two "mama bears". They were able to comfort me, show me love and tender care. This day for me sometimes feels like yesterday yet when I take a look at my pictures, I see how far I have come. 

I am missing a person who was also there for me on that day. I will never forget the words he spoke.

 He looked at me and said "promise me you are going to fight this" and my reply was yes. I will always hold on to those worlds because everyday is a battle.

Cant believe its been a year! A year I will never forget. A year that has shown me how strong I can be and a year that changed my life forever. I will always share this day and moment with them.

Now look at me. I fought and kicked cancer in the ass!
