I am approaching my 1 year anniversary of my breast cancer diagnosis. I never thought I would hear those words. Me? That can’t be right! I don’t have a family history, there were no signs!!
It changed my life and made me see clearly what is important. What I thought was the worst thing that could happen to me, turned out to be the best thing that happened to me.
I found out who truly were my friends and was surrounded by the TOUGH WARRIOR PRINCESSES, for whom I will be forever grateful for being associated with for the past several years and honored to serve on their Board of Directors. Maybe that was my sign? Maybe I knew subconsciously I would need them one day? What ever it was it gave me strength, it gave me the courage to change my career after 30 years and it gave me hope. I am the happiest I’ve ever been.
Be vigilant ladies and don’t loose sight of regular check ups. Early detection can save your life.
Most importantly always remember the meaning behind the pretty pink ribbon.
