I never thought it would be me. I had my life planned out. I have a successful beauty business, I am a beauty educator, and I have a wonderful family life. I have a child, that due to medical circumstance, I never thought I would have. I had my dreams set before me, until that fateful day I found a strange lump. I didn't think anything of it at first, and waited to get the next available appointment at the doctor, just to be sure.
They say, “life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans”. Life changed for me it seems in a split second. What was going to happen now? My emotions were all scrambled when I found out I had stage 3 breast cancer. I didn't know if I should cry, scream, panic, hit something or do it all at the same time. Did it mean I had to start setting things up for my son thinking I wasn't going to be here? Was I going to beat this thing? I couldn't leave my husband, my mom, and most importantly my baby boy. I still had so much more to do, to see my baby grow up, to see his accomplishments in life... I had to just, be there.
