I will relish in all great things and blessings!



Yesterday (Monday) was a wonderful day! Not only and I feeling energetic after chemo I received some very goods news I consider a game changer! I also had the privilege in meeting the director of 1 in 9 charity I will talk about in detail.


I received a call telling me my BRCA 1 and 2 appear to be negative. It seems I carry NO gene mutation. This is a true blessing and significant. It means my daughters nor sons sister or niece carry the BRAC gene and will not be at further risk for cancer or their children (my grand children) some day. It also means at my time of surgery (double mastectomy) I will not have my ovaries nor tubes removed!
I did however test for Variants of Uncertain Significance (VUS). This changes nothing above as I'm in only the 15% of breast cancer patients that test for this. What it means to me is once I'm whole and healed I will help researchers and pharmaceutical companies with my DNA help further under stand triple negative and VUS so we can help others with this disease. Once I have a better understanding after my genetics class I will update further.
Currently I will celebrate being considered BRAC 1 & 2 negative!

I have maintained Gods guidance through this entire journey, and my need to reach out and help others! I have a responsibility and am driven to do so in all ways possible.

I had the privilege of meeting the director of www.1in9.com yesterday. 1 in 9 is a breast cancer charity that provides  meals and transportation for women whom do not own cars and would for go treatment if not for this charity.
It provides grocery's, diapers, and medical expensive s so family's can get proper treatment to become cancer free.
I was taken by the founders remark in the paper "God wants us to use our experience to help others". I could not agree more.
I will be attending their Pink Tie Gala April 2015! I will be cancer free and have completed all my treatments as of March 2015 so I will have a reason to celebrate my 42nd birthday in April cancer free at this Gala! 

I have now WON so many battles and will continue to do so! 

I am greatly optimistic and feel chemo will continue to be a road non to difficult treatment journey as I am able to have normalcy with minimal down time so far! I expect to be able to be a wife and mother on my road to recovery and through treatment as "I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me!

Prayers we need are my chemo is shrinking my tumor and killing my cancer! In a few weeks that my tumor lacks and is smaller in size!

Please consider if you are able to help and please keep us lifted in prayer!

God Bless!
