In thinking of how my life has changed in 1 month: I went from Miss to Mrs., became Aunt Katie, and recieved a breast cancer diagnosis in the span of 5 days. I'll get in to more detail about the cancer later but want to really define what the purpose of this blog is about.
I've learned in this short time that a person's life can change at the drop of a hat. Some times these changes last a life time. It's what you do with these changes and how you let it affect you that help define your perspective and overall outlook in life. For me, I've decided that I'm still Katie. I'm still alive and just like every other hurdle that comes up in life, I'm going to overcome it.
My name is Katie....I'm 27 years old....and on 12/17/12 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I hope that in writing this blog, I'm able to reach out to others who are going through this and also reach other women on the importance of being aware of your own body. I thought breast cancer was something that happened to women who were in their 40's or who had a family history. I have none. I never did my monthly self breast exams and I didn't even feel a lump....but I'll tell you one thing...cancer found me.
So I've got one thing to say cancer....you want a fight....you've got it!
