Searching for Breast Cancer Survival Stories
Filed Under (Short Writings) by WendyF on 04-08-2008
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Being a survivor myself I am attempting to seek out stories from Survivors or those that are going through Breast Cancer now.
I would like to (with permission of course) to set aside the month of October as a tribute to all those that Suvived or rest their souls those that didn’t.
I am searching for stories to post here Wendys Whimsy
Let me know if you can help out as I would like one story a day for the whole month of October.
Hi Wendy
I was worry about you and things are looking great.My daughters’s mother is a two time survivor and she never complained once it broke my heart to see her go through it all but she did survive

But I do respect her for being a fighter
it was one of the hardest times of my life,we just had a baby and they were saying the hormones trigger it and I felt guilty for getting her pregnant

WendyFs last blog post..A Huge thanks to Jay
I am a 39-year-old Breast Cancer Survivor! I was diagnosed at age 34 with stage II aggressive Breast Cancer and underwent a biopsy, lumpectomy and a sentinel node biopsy. After the surgery healed I started a six-month regiment of chemotherapy (AC, Taxotere). After finishing that I underwent 36 treatments of radiation. Since that time I have been a very healthy and alive woman.
I lost all of my hair (except I still had to shave my legs!) and instead of wearing a wig, hat or scarf I choose to embrace being bald. I looked great and have pictures to prove it!
Treatment is something I wish on nobody, but on the other end it’s changed my life. Instead of living to work, I work to live. Being a survivor has brought many opportunities I would have never had previously.
I’m now involved with a spectacular program called Survivor Diver. The founder of this foundation, Lisa, had her mother pass away from breast cancer after her second fight with this disease. Lisa and her mom started SCUBA diving and it made her mother feel so much better. Lisa decided to start a foundation to help survivors of BC discover the same feeling. She teaches survivors to SCUBA and takes them somewhere sunny and fun to get their certification. (survivordiver.com) Lisa’s philosophy is, “Together, we can help others find hope, courage, joy and a passion for life.”
I am also an identical twin. My sister, thankfully, has been checked regularly and is healthy. We are involved in something called the Sister Study sponsored by Komen for the Cure. This follows the life of the sister to see what role genetics play in diagnosis. I’d love to talk to you further…feel free to call me anytime.
Thank you for the opportunity to share my story. I’d love to be featured on your site to help viewers see that you can really live on the other side of Breast Cancer. I believe my life purpose is to inspire and educate women.
