One year ago this month (July 2012) I took the last of 27 chemo treatments.
I was diagnosed in March of 2010 with 2 types of breast cancer, both were stage 3. I had a modified radical mastectomy, 27 chemo treatments and 30 radiation treatments.
Cancer took part of my body, took my hair, took a year and a half of my time but it did not take my life.
If you are battling cancer you CAN win!! I DID!! I had lots of prayer, and a wonderful support group of family and friends. Keep a positive attitude and keep smiling. There is light at the end of the battle.
God bless each and every one of you.

Keep the faith and keep on fighting!!
Donice, you are a fighter. I’m proud of you. I’ve been recently diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast cancer (estrogen caused) on Feb 27, 2013 and I feel like you. Cancer has taken my hair, my happiness, and valuable time from my kids. But thanks to God, family & friends, I can hold my head up no matter what situation I’m going through. We serve an awesome God!
