My Breast Cancer Journey

I have made it my mission to document the ups, downs and in betweens of MY breast cancer journey.  I was so afraid when I was diagnosed because I couldn't find much on young women diagnosed with this terrible disease.  I was afraid of  EVERYTHING and through the support of my family, friends and phenomenal doctors I am more educated and aware!  Although my journey may be different from other women and men with breast cancer, a lot of my emotions, feelings and questions may be the same and I am using my blog as a tool for them!  If anyone has ANY questions regarding anything that I have or am going through PLEASE do not hesitate to contact me! I AM AN OPEN BOOK!

Below is a list of ALL of my blog posts related to my journey.  It documents EVERYTHING that I have gone through and the posts go in order from top=beginning to the bottom=current! Enjoy!
