What would you think?

What would your first thoughts be if you were told you have breast cancer? or any cancer for that matter? Or any life threatening disease? How would you feel? How would you think? How do you get past those words? How do you deal?

I thought the toughest thing I would have to go through was Ava's hip dysplasia. As a family we weathered the storm pretty well with tons of support and help. It was a very long year but we did it! Who knew 4 years later we would get hit with even worse news. Who knew that our family would have to prepare for an even tougher battle. Was that a prelude of what was to come? Did it prepare my children, my husband or myself for the worst news I could imagine?

No one thinks it will happen to them. I certainly thought never me. I'm healthy. I'm strong. Well I guess I was wrong. It can happen to ANYONE! September 7, 2016 my life.... David's life... my kids life was FOREVER changed.

So back to my original question.. What would your first thoughts be if you were told you had breast cancer? My thoughts... I like my breasts. (I'm 41 and they're still perky!) I don't want to loose my hair! My kids! How will I tell Jack and Ava? David! I can't do this! I have to do this! It's like having instant ADD. I moved from one thought to the next. I couldn't process anything. I couldn't think straight. This sucks!!!

I am hoping by blogging it will help me process my feelings and keep everyone up to date. Regardless of the million thoughts going through my head, I know I will "Fight Like a Girl" and win this war. I will fight for my life. I will fight for my husband and most of all, I will fight for my children!!
