March 24, 2011, this is the day my world was flipped upside down. Cancer, how can that be? I am 31 years old, healthy, I don't smoke, I don't drink. I have a 3 and 4 year old, this is not real. The moment the doctor said that 6 letter word it was like a dream, I could hear him talking but I had no clue what he was saying. To say I saw my life flash before my eyes was an understatement, I was numb. I wanted to get up and run out of the office, I wanted to yell at him for saying those words, all I could ask was "am I going to die? I don't want to die, I have small kids". As, the past week has moved by I have been able to stop and answer the one question that has been on my mind constantly, "why me". Me, because I am strong, I am confident, I am a fighter, I am stubborn, I don't play by anyone else's rules, and most importantly I am a survivor. I have always wondered what my purpose in life was, I now have my answer, to beat cancer and then become the biggest advocate and supporter for those who are fighting. I will become the strength for other young moms, wives, and daughters who are told the terrifying news that they too have breast cancer. I am about to embark on the most scariest, hardest, life changing journey ever but, in the end I will have one hell of a story to tell my grandkids.
