Hello my friends,
I am ready to share this now.
This June, after 10 years , I received the news of the return of my node positive, metastatic breast cancer.
In the past three months, I have welcomed shock, sadness and fear, but have also welcomed great strength, wisdom and clarity.
10 years ago, when I was first diagnosed, I was a 35 years old, self employed single Mom of two toddlers, I did everything My Doctors told me to do. I was so afraid of dying, I didn’t question anything, I did everything they told me to do.
After receiving this diagnosis for the second time, I feel different. I am different. I’m not afraid of dying, because I am not going to die. Much to my Oncologist and surgeons dismay and many attempts to convince me, I have decided to respectfully decline doing Chemotherapy, Herceptin, Tamoxifen and radiation. I have never been so sure of a decision in my life.
I had surgery Sept 4th.They removed 3 tumours in my left breast, all remaining breast tissue and muscle from my left side, removed the implants from both sides, and lymph node dissection of almost all of the remaining lymph nodes in my left axilla. I am still being advised to do chemotherapy, herceptin, tamoxifen and radiation. I am still politely declining their offer.
Instead, I am embarking on a new path, with new passion, clarity, knowledge, freedom and LOVE.
It has been 16 beautiful years since starting my Business. And I have now decided it is time to move on and start on a new passion. I will forever be thankful, grateful and blessed, for being able to run a successful business while also being a Full time Mom, in an occupation that I absolutely loved. However, my heart and my soul know, it’s time to do other fabulous things. I welcome this opportunity with the biggest open arms, With passion and love, and full knowing that the sky's the limit, and I am here to accomplish great things.
With so much love, thank you
