2nd time around


My 25 year old daughter was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, of course it was a shock for someone so young, I was 32 with 3 children when I was diagnosed. Ben was 9, Meghan 6 and Vanessa 3. I thought I was going to die! I didn't know anybody who had breast cancer except my Uncle Jim, See Men can get it! He had a double mastecomy. I had a lumpectomy, with 32 treatments of radiation, and 2 years later it returned to the same breast, then had it removed and 2 years later had elective surgery to have the left breast removed. Greatest decision I have made in my life.


But back to Meghan, she did have 2 cancers close to her chest wall that concerned her doctors, She had surgery 1 month ago and had immediate reconstructive surgery. I am so proud of her, she was positive during the whole ordeal and she put everyone at ease. She is now busy with her life work and family. We are so thankful for all the prayers and faith of family and friends. We love you all. Margie and Jay
