![]() I chose to get a lumpectomy and do chemo and radiation. ![]() And then I was diagnosed again with a local recurrence in 2013, and I had bilateral mastectomy with a DIEP flap and chemo again and again lost my hair. ![]() So, here I am 11 years later and doing fine. When I was diagnosed the first time, I had been divorced for two years, and I had been dating a guy for about a year. And we had fun together, but he probably dumped me about three days later after my diagnosis. And I remember thinking, “That is so rude.” It wasn’t that I was upset that he dumped me so much, because I don’t think that I was in love with him, but it was the rudest thing I could imagine. And in hindsight he probably did the biggest favor of my life, because had he stayed with me during treatment, I would have felt obligated to stay with him and it turned out that was quite a gift when he dumped me.īy the second diagnosis, I had married someone. He stood by my side, and he gutted it out even though he was not comfortable with all of the things that were happening to my body and to me. He is a wonderful man, and I met him while I was doing chemo the first time. And it’s a very unlikely story, and I have to tell you I do believe that God helped me through that and He made those things happen.
