Let me tell ya about my Jesus…
7 years ago today I went to an MD Anderson affiliated hospital for my 3rd opinion with high hopes. It was a 3 hour drive one way. I was also 8 weeks pregnant and woke up spotting. The hospital was gorgeous and the staff really friendly. The Dr was also nice. But when I asked him what my life expectancy would be, it was like a swift kick in the gut that takes your breath away. He told me *2-3 years with traditional treatment* Most of everything after that is kind of a blur. My head was spinning. My babies were 7, 5, 2 1/2! I do vividly remember stopping at a Burger King and having lost my little bean there. That was also pretty traumatic and I questioned *WHY?!* I still don’t know all the why’s but I do know that I’m sitting here, 7, SEVEN, years later with a 14, 12, 9 1/2 year old and am currently NED (No Evidence of Disease)!!!! That baby brought me so much joy and hope in a terrible time. That baby also bought me time to make my own informed decisions. Cancer has taught me so much about life. I never want to forget how blessed I’ve been and I never want to forget my friends who’ve gone on. That in itself is another internal battle, survivors guilt. But, I’m not supposed to know all the why’s and I can take comfort and trust that. I can’t thank God enough for another day, every day ❤️🙌🏼❤️ My God is bigger than statistics!!! I’m not going to say I’ve never lost hope, because there have been moments. But Hope, Faith, Prayer have got me through this and the love and support from y’all ❤️😘❤️

Donations made to Komen this week will be designated for critical metastatic (stage 4) breast cancer (MBC) research. Since our founding, Komen has invested $1.1 billion in breast cancer research, with 72% of our currently funded research projects focused on MBC and other aggressive and deadly breast cancers. Above and beyond the millions of research funding, this year we are going one step further to raise $1 million to fund the first ever MBC Excellence in Research Award to help fund the cures for this disease. Donate to end MBC. https://bit.ly/3SUeErS

Treatment day! Met with my oncologist and got good news...
One tumor is completely gone!!
I can get a dose reduction!
I can go ahead and start the process for my next breast reconstruction surgery!!
I get to push out July 20th's infusion a week so I can attend a wedding without being sick!
Next round of scans will be August 15th!!
It's crazy to think I've been doing this for close to SIX years! At that time the median survival rate was 3 years, not sure how much that has changed. So, for me, this is a BIG DEAL ❤️🙌🏼❤️
SIX years of so many changes. Can't wait to see what God has in store for me ❤️
