Reflections

Just sitting here reflecting on July 2009. Looking back at this picture, I was focused on losing weight before my 40th birhday and how I was going into 40 with a bang. Little did I know the bang would come in the form of a Stage III breast cancer diagnosis. This after picture was taken just before I got that news. Thanks to negligence of doctors I almost lost my life. Glory be to God that it was caught just in time. I cannot thank the team of wonderful doctors at Memorial Regional Hospital and the Breast Cancer Centers who gave me excellent care.  Their skilled team of doctors saved my life and gave me a second chance.  God is so able and His grace spared my life. I turned 42 last week and on September 14th last year I finished my last treatment after a year of chemo, bi-lateral masectomy and radiation. My life has come full circle to where I am not so focused on myself and my weight but now I am focused on serving others and sharing how God impacts my daily life. Once again I cannot thank all my prayer warriors enough for keeping me lifted up during that journey. I am forever changed!
