Embracing my new normal

Welcome everyone. Thank you for stopping by to read my Journey. This blog is intended to mainly help me with my emotions and feelings throughout my journey but to also share my journey with someone. You never know how this might help someone else and this is what I want to do. I am 31 years old people, 31! I have NO breast cancer in my family and here I am battling that stupid C word no one wants to battle. I am a mother of 3 beautiful children and I have nursed all three of them. How in the world did I get Breast Cancer at 31?

I am here to express my thoughts and feeling and to share my ups and downs and my trials. I want to encourage women, young women, that this is for real. This is serious and I want to also educate you along the way as I learn more about my "new normal" and help to prevent this from happening to you.

My faith is solid and my support system knocks my socks off. I tell you ladies, I had NO idea I had SO much support and love until now. I have had so many offers to help and for meals, you name it. I will take them up on the offers because I know down the road I will need it, my husband will need it and my kids will need it.

If I sound strong and courageous, you should see my inside. I am SCARED TO DEATH. I am angry, mad, sad, you name it I am THAT. Am I mad at God? No, because I know He is the Mighty Physician and I know he has a plan for me. He is writing my story and I know I am not alone. This is going to be a LONG battle but with my God I know he will get the through to the other side.

So please stick around and follow my journey with me as I step into my "new normal" and embrace this fierce stupid disease we call cancer. Im ready to bring it and BEAT CANCERS BUTT!

Also a wonderful friend created the hashtag #heatherstrong. If you feel so inclined to use it, please do. I'd love to see the love and support to help me WIN this battle!
