It’s ok to be truthful about how you feel.
These are MY terms of being at peace living with Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC). Being diagnosed with Stage IV MBC at the age of 31 was not my form of peace, but I live and exist in purpose.
I put out an APB for my Sexy, unsure if it could actually be brought back but I was willing to do the work to get it back.
After lots of grounding and affirming, I had to fix my crown and remember who I am and whose I am!
I had become the patient; he became the caregiver. He saw me differently. Fragile. In pain. Suffering. All I wanted was to be loved in every way — to be a wife, a lover, a sexual being.
We need to knock and kick down every door possible to let politicians know that this is unacceptable. Money does not need to be spent on making people aware of cancer – we do not need sunglasses and pop sockets and hats and pins.
We need research that produces real results!
I never could have climbed Mt. Whitney without everything I had learned from cancer. You see, the mountain didn’t prepare me for cancer. Cancer prepared me for the mountain.
IBC is real and it doesn’t always appear like a typical breast cancer diagnosis. Pain, swelling, discoloration, change in appearance are all a part of IBC. If any doctor tells you that breast cancer doesn’t hurt, that’s a lie.
When you have a soulmate, you can look beyond all of that and see the beauty and the creation that God designed just for the two of you.
I’ve always been a big believer that things always happen for a reason and God chooses us for those reasons. I know my testimony will be tremendous and will inspire others to fight with all they have.
