Back in july my husdand and i were about to make love when all of sudden he said to me honey what is that?          I said i dont know called my docter the next day the day after that i got that phone call we dont want to get. Tracy i am so sorry we found something in the left breast .i called my husband and he came home from work.we sat down with our 6 wonderful kids . They didnt know what to say .they all showed how they felt in there own way .all tell me mommy please dont die what do you say to something like that ?so this is what i told them. There are so many family friends our paster and people we dont even know praying me you and that is why i am doing everythng i can to make sure i do stay right here with all of you so i can see my son get done with college and watch my daugther go to college and one of them to give me my first grand babys. Watch them get married . And my 4 year old i beg god not to let him grow up with out a mom . I try not to cry in front of them so i go to the bathroom and my bebroom or when my husband and i are all alone those are the times i cry.i am going throught the treat meant i have three more to go then 5 years of the chemo pill and i pray to god it works .i am only 42 years old my babys cant grow up without there mom and my husband and i have plans to grow old together and watch are grand babies grow .my family is my life body heart and soul . I just dont know what i would do if i knew i was going to lose them all. Knowing my husband would be all alone trying to caring on with out me by his side. Everyone tells us we are soul mates and we are . I hve loved him since i was 14 so it has been a very long road for us and i am not ready to turn off that  road yet        .i keep my faith with the good grace god and my family and i will get throught this and go on to live my life with them all.may god bless all of you and keep you safe and happy and keep fighting everything is worht it. God bless be safe

thank you for the message you posted, there was alot of encouragement in there for all of us.  you have everything going for you that will make you a survivor, a loving family, and a strong faith in God that you are leaning on to get through this.  i know it's rough, i know it's scarey.  you are loved and will find the strength to get through it.  i admire your ability to voice your fears, they seem alot less of a burden (for me anyway) when i can let someone else hear them.  i've been married 30 years, and it was a rough road for both of us, but we have fought too hard  to stay together, this will be just one more thing to make our love stronger.  you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Tracey,

In this day and age, there are so many milestones which have been taken to battle breast cancer, as compared to when my mother first discovered hers some 19 years ago. She has had many good years, cancer free, and several set backs along the way which she continues to deal with. Keep the faith, follow thru with your treatments, be completely confident with your medical team, and if not, get a second opinion from other specialists in your area, and DON'T GIVE UP HOPE. With good medical care, and a positive attitude as difficult as it may be at times, you are going to live many years to come, and with a good quality of life. Best wishes, Christine
