In April 2011 I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer that matastesized to my ovaries, liver, and bones. I am in week 7 of chemotherapy and am doing particularly well. I am a single mother of a 22 year old very protective and loving young man. I quite smoking 8 days ago and joined the gym. I have forced myself out of my comfort zone and into a new life, with new experiences. I have already lost 100+ pounds in under a year due to the Cancer and now I'm stabilized and working on losing an additional 75 pounds or so. I'm living life on life's terms. I am strong and will get through this like I get through everything in my life....One day at a time. I feel good but a little uncomfortable in this new body of mine. Losing all this weight has screwed up my equilibrium so I feel like I'm tilting when I walk to the point where i feel that I am going to fall over.
