Race for the Cure

Our little team (me, Henry, Shari, Jadelyn, Kurt, Kohl, Stacey and Kate) participated in the Race for the Cure yesterday. It meant so much for me to be there and I am grateful to have been able to share it with people I love.

I hope everyone has a great week.

Love and Peace

Background

In early June 2007 I went to see a new doctor for my yearly exam. My mom recommended I ask for a base line mammogram because of family history.
On June 27th I went in for my mammogram. While I was there I saw a notice on the wall letting patients know that if this was their first mammogram they shouldn't be surprised if they received a letter asking them to come back as sometimes they did not get good photos on the base line.
On July 7th I received such a letter. I had a moment where I thought and cried, "what if there is something?" I called first thing Monday and made an appointment for Friday. When I called I was told they wanted to look at both breasts again, so I told myself they just didn't get good pictures.
Friday the 13th of July 2007 I found out I have Breast Cancer. I had my second mammogram and then an ultra sound. The doctor came in a told me they wanted to do a biopsy.
I didn't get the actual results until the following week, but the 13th was the day I knew what was later confirmed.
And so began my Journey.....
