FROM CANCER PATIENT TO CANCER SURVIVOR

This gallery is a tribute to all of those women and men who are now battling cancer, those that have battled the disease and for those that lost their fight. Dedicated especially to Lisa Jones, Dollie Smith, Jeanne Duke, Connie Roberson, Dawn Owens and Kaye.
I, myself am a survivor of breast cancer. Double mastectomy, chemotherapy, reconstructive surgery, survivor!
I thank my parents, my sisters, my cousins, my dear friends and all that prayed for me during my battle that I don't even know. Thank you all for your support, love and most of all prayers. I couldn't have beat this without God and your being there for me. Now, if I can just do that for someone else, then it was worth the fight. God Bless You All!

After battling cancer last year, I will be doing the 5K Race for the Cure for the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation to help raise money to find a cure.  I don't want any other woman to ever have to battle this disease again.  It is on April 15th and you will be seeing more pictures of the run and other Survivors!

Life after cancer is wonderful for me.  I've learned so much through it all and want to share it with all.
I did this in a raw shot to get the bluish colors.  It set the mood I was trying to create. And, although everything is coming up roses for me, it may not be for many others.  The race is in a little over a week and I'm running this race to help as many women as I can to win their battle with breast cancer.  It has been a little over a year when I was diagnosed and 2006 is the first year cancer free.  I'm a Survivor and want to help eliminate this disease.  God Bless all of you for your prayers and comments.

This little bear goes with me everywhere.  A friend gave this to me when I was diagnosed and he's pretty beat up but he's my buddy.  Reminds me of the friends that I'm blessed to have.

This is the drug I have to take everyday for the next 4 years.  But, it keeps the cancer away! BTW, I'm feeling great!  Ready to do the Race for the Cure. There will be a lot of pictures being posted after the race!  Wish me luck!

This is Noel.  He's the man that went to New Zealand last year for the Iron Man Triathalon.  He raised money for me for my medical bills and for the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.  He's now training again.  Good luck, Noel!  You are the best!  I'd marry you if you'd let me!  LOL!

Things I arranged to promote finding a cure for breast cancer.  The bracelet symbolizes sisterhood, the heart symbolizes love for those who have gone through it, those who are now battling and those that have died from it. The butterfly represents the freedom of being a SURVIVOR.

The scar is where they cut me to put the port in so I could get my chemotherapy without having to find veins everytime I went in.  It is now gone and just the scar remains.  It is a reminder everyday of where I was a year ago.
