Welcome!


Thank you for visiting; although this blog has taken me far longer to write than I had ever anticipated. If you look at the dates, you'll know that I am very behind. I apologize in advance for that.

This is the story of my fight with Stage IV breast cancer. When I was 29 years old, the cancerous tumor in my breast was misdiagnosed as a cyst. My hope is that this blog will help other women to learn to ask for a mammogram or even a biopsy if they feel something suspicious in their breast, regardless of their age. You must be your own advocate!

If you would like to contact me, you are welcome to do so. I try to respond to every email. Please use my contact page here.

Breast Cancer Bracelets!


I have a page with which I try and sell breast cancer bracelets. Please visit it here. You are just going to love them. Well, besides the fact that they say "cancer" on them, they are a cute, two-color pink. Check them out! (All proceeds to help pay my gigantic medical bill, which currently exceeds $300,000.)

Invasive Ductal Carcinoma

The Radiologist just called me with the news.  I have ”Invasive Ductal Carcinoma“.  She said that it’s the most common type of breast cancer.  Invasive Ductal Carcinoma sounds so clinical.  The thing is, I don’t feel like I have something that warrants a title like Invasive Ductal Carcinoma.  Aside from a persistant, dry hacking cough, and feeling slightly rundown, I feel fine.  I would equate my symptoms with the feeling of having asthma or mild bronchitis.  I’m assuming that I feel this way because I’ve hopefully caught the cancer early and will be able to get through this as soon as possible.
