Everyday a HollyDay!

On October 18, 2012, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Sixty percent (60%) of my right breast was diseased (9 tumors) which required full removal of all breast tissue. I underwent a bi-lateral mastectomy on November 14, 2012 and have been through 2 additional surgeries since then. The saving grace was that my cancer had not yet invaded other surrounding tissue or my lymph nodes and I escaped without needing chemo or radiation. It's still no picnic. This is my journey.
