I was pregnant with my third child. It was recommended I go through chemo first to shrink the tumor and then surgery followed by radiation. I have finished all my treatments. I just wanted you to know if you need someone to communicate with who has been down the road you are about to travel, please reach out to me. God bless and stay strong! Dawn Melissa,

CT Scan, chest x-ray, MRI...and then because my tumor is fairly large, my doctor wants me to have chemo first, then the mastectomy, then radiation. I feel like I'm about to climb onto a roller coaster ride that I don't want to go on, but in order for me to get off...I have to go through the ride. I've cried, I've had a temper tantrum, and tonight, I'm depressed. Probably because I know this ride is about to start and I'm scared. But I know that some day the ride will be over and I'll have my life back, and that is what I will focus on. God Bless you and your journey and thank you for sharing your story. Dear Sylvie-

As it was big I was surgery first, and then they made the biopsy to see if it was “bad” cancer. I remember like today when I went to pick the result of the biopsy. I pick the result, but I didn’t had the courage to open immediately, I waited to arrive to my car, and to be seat ( I was affraid to collapse, I wanted to be seated! ). I remember go down the stairs of the lab, get in the street, and move to my car, always looking at that letter, with my heart racing like crazy. How could a simple paper have so much power over me? As I walk I feel like I was sticked to the ground. Like if I didn’t want to arrive to my car, because I knew that when I arrive and seat I “would” have to open the letter and know the result. Finnaly I arrive to my car, open the door and seat. I look to that letter for long time, before I open it. <b>And in that moment I decided that I would to the things I so much loved, but never did before.</b> Then I open the letter, and the result was good, I had no “bad” cancer. But I have to be careful and watch my breasts all the time. Life is so precious, and God will help you. You will see that very fast everything will be just memories, and you will get out of this so so much more strong and good heart ( even bigger than you are now, and you are not “little” good heart now! ).
