Breast Cancer !!What!

I can't believe this is happening! Cancer how ?? why???

A lump ok should be nothing to worry about right?????Wrong!!So went and got it checked and on the 24th of all days of December...Great gift for Christmas to be on your mind! Went back to work thinking no news is great news...Wrong again i got the call to go and see the dr, it was confirmed that i had breast cancer...The thing about it i was shocked always was thinking i didn’t have big breasts so it could not be true...Guess didn’t matter so the decision to have a mastectomy .Treatments after with Chemo, shocking but even scarier for me to lose my hair was worse news ever..I freaked right out and wanted to die instead of treatments, by this time i had enough and wanted it to all be a dream. So sitting here now thinking of the year i had with the treatments, radiation and yes wearing a wig...I did all of it and i survived...Back to work again Great Family and friends who all stood by my side to this day! Live Laugh Love always...When someone asks me why my hair is so short i say wanted a new look...Was not as bad as i thought it would be i had the summer of doing treatments .Made family close again. Found my birth mom and am here!!!I did it and so can u.... Nikki
