The Info

Many people can't believe it, but it is true I am a 21 year old with Breast Cancer. I found a lump when about a year ago and the doctor thought nothing of it. So a year went by and nothing was done but my cancer was growing. At first it was the size of a Cheetos ball and a year later doctors are calling it my "pickle" (now I can never eat one again!) its 2cm long and about and inch thick. It has advanced to my lymph nodes, which I am scared about!

I will keep everyone posted mainly by this page so please enjoy. Comments make my day better!

Remember check the Ta Ta's NOT KIDDING!!!

Catherine, I was forwarded your info. I, too am a survivor--3 years ago! I am a teacher at Southland Academy in Americus. I've been back full time for over 2 years. I think we probably know many of the same people! My daughter graduated from Mercer in '06, and she currently lives in Macon and works in W-R. We have a little "treat" for you from our breast cancer support group, and I would like to deliver it to you if it's OK.
Remember this: cancer is a bump in the road, and God has 4-wheel drive!!! I PROMISE you that you will be fine!
Please email me any time!

As old friends of Brian's family we know your support from family is and will remain tremendous. But, best of all, is the awesome God we serve who knew you while you were being formed within your mommy. He has an incredible plan for your life and has brought you two together as part of that plan. Experiencing cancer will make you stronger in Him and, if you allow, will make you stronger in your witness for our Lord. Praise Him now for what He's about to do in your life!
