Bad Right Breast

Living in that fear of your cancer returning can be debilitating.  Living in that fear can cause some real trauma, more than living with cancer itself.  The mind games, they come back to play and they will play tough.  So you need to find a balance and figure how to win the mind game of that fear of the return.

I knew that I was one of the lucky ones, that not every woman can leave her journey knowing that she was in fact cancer free.  But I never knew just how different that experience was, until I asked our volunteers – were you ever told you were cancer free?  Listen to how they answered.

Last week Tiffany dove into how she discovered her cancer while in grad school and chose to have a double mastectomy at the age of 29.  Finish hearing about her reconstruction, treatment and recovery, and how having cancer at such a young age has changed the trajectory of her life.

Imagine being a student in grad school, and finding out that you have breast cancer.  That’s Tiffany’s story.  As the youngest of those to be interviewed thus far, she tells a story about finding her tumor, going through the university health care system, the decision to have a double mastectomy, treatment and more.  As a woman who researches for a living, she thought she knew exactly what she was in for.  But sadly, cancer treatment and recovery isn’t the same for everyone.  And sometimes your story hasn’t been written for others to research.

As with all things cancer, our treatment in radiation and its side effects are very different for everyone.

Of the 15 women interviewed for the THEIR STORIES series, 9 of them had chemotherapy.  As with all types of diseases, and their treatments, what works and doesn’t work for you during chemotherapy will NOT be exactly the same for others.

You know those moments, when you think it can’t get any worse, but then it does?  Well, that’s Shana’s story.  It’s a story that is a huge reminder that NONE of our cancer journeys, like our cancer, are the same.  And if you didn’t believe it before, Shana will definitely make you a believer now.  But who would have thought that having breast cancer would be the LEAST of your worries…

We all need that one thing that does a bit of a reboot to our soul.  For some, it’s work.  For others, it’s a hobby, or their religion.  Whatever it is, know that it’s good to try to find it sooner than later.  Because when that moment hits you – and it will – you’ll need that zen to be there to help get you through.

Heather is a straight forward, hard core working mom of three kids, the youngest as 14 months at the time of her diagnosis.  Trigger Warning:  Heather has a dark sense of humor.  Heather speaks with a rawness that you may need to be in a safe place, if you will, when you listen.  Oh, and you most definitely will laugh your ass off too.
