My Leukemia Journey

[krisp]

I read your story and I thought "I so get you". I was diagnosed as 32 with breast cancer when I was 9 weeks pregnant. I had 6 months of surgery, chemo, and radiotherapy but I did not lose faith. To cut a long story short even though I had to lose my first darling angel to survive I now have 2 gorgeous, precious, amazing, miraculous children. I also am a "natural" didn't smoke, or drink was a gym junky and very healthy and fit. It's now 5 years since I was told "I'm sorry it's cancer" and whilst it's never far away I've won the battle and I'm determined to win the war and to never go back to that scarey dark place.

Stay strong, keep looking forward, tell your children that you love them everyday, hug your friends, enjoy the sunrise/sunset, pat your neighbours dog, just try and get every ounce of pleasure from every moment.

Hang on Sydney Doula and trust your body will fight back.
