Karla’s Story (Breast Cancer)

karlas-story-breast-cancerOn June 25, 2018,  I was doing a self examination of my breasts and found a knot. I went directly to the hospital, the biopsy was fine. I had a double mastectomy, total radical hysterectomy, did 4 rounds of A/C and 20 rounds of infused chemotherapy.

On February 6,  I FOUND the second tumor myself. I had surgery to remove the tumor on my chest wall and 12 lymph nodes removed. Then, I did 25 rounds of daily radiation and 5 rounds of boost radiation, which is very potent.

I start chemo again tomorrow…trying to fight the good fight♥️♥️♥️
