Beyond the stress that comes with being diagnosed with cancer and the treatments... just the stress of trying to maintain your livelihood, your marriage, your home.

For me the whole journey was stressful, but I am thankful I pulled through. Probably one of the more challenging moments was the decision to go through with the mastectomy as not only was it an operation that hopefully would remove all the cancer cells, but it would also leave me in a physical condition that affects a women strongly mentally, emotionally, and physically.

However, eventually, you find out your true strength through times like these. I have learned a lot about myself and the strength I have!

@Courtney_J I am getting very nervous and scared because the surgery is July 13, 2021. My parents both died this year so I dont have them to talk to. My mom died on Feb 16, 2021 with a sickness she was suffering for 18 months so i was dealing with that for the last months and then my dad had a major stroke 3 weeks after my mom passed away and he could no longer go back to his assistance living so we had to find a nursing home. We found one he was only in there 3 weeks and then he passed away on May 6, 2021. Right after all that I was diagnosed with cancer so I have been on a train that is non-stop. I feel like I am so tried out and I dont have much energy left. My sisters are not helpful they keep telling me just pray. They both got to take 2 weeks vacation after my mom and dad passed away. I have not even had time to take a breather I am just on the train of bad luck. That is how I am feeling.
