Keep Calm and Fight On

<p>At age 26, I was diagnosed with advanced Invasive Ductal Carincoma and here I am trying to find a way to fight it for good!</p> <p>When I discovered the unknown lump in my left breast, I knew something was wrong I had a feeling that it was cancer, I tried not to think that it was not but I can&rsquo;t lie to myself like that. I didn&rsquo;t know much about breast cancer, until I was assigned to prepare a persuasive speech in front of my speech class. I decided on breast cancer, I didn&rsquo;t know much about it anyway and did my research. I didn&rsquo;t have to prepare much or write an outline. I managed to dig deep and talked to the class unscripted. I somehow tied it all to what I was going through from the discovery of the lump and doctor visits to the fact that you or someone you know has been effected by cancer and I am one of them. Even though I didn&rsquo;t know for sure at the time if I had it or not but I felt that I did. My cheeks trembled fighting back tears and that deep pain in my chest as I talked about my personal life with strangers for the first time it was scary but good it was practice for breaking the news down for my family and friends... after class one of the students came up to me and said I&rsquo;ll be here for you if you need me and gave me a hug... I was so touched by her for that and to confirmed I am not alone in this journey. <br /><br />As with many people who experience cancer, we&rsquo;ve all been told we have 5 years to live with stage IV terminal cancer and there&rsquo;s nothing we can do for you after conventional treatment fails. BUT I believe there IS! There are people out there who live beyond the statistics and have turn over to alternatives to fight cancer for good. That means changing your diet, eating natural foods that keep you alive, have a positive attitude, surround yourself with positive people, and following a spiritual path. For me I believe in God, for healing and restoring my health better than it was before. I pray every day for him to take this cancer away and I find comfort when I seek him. Because of my faith, I am able to live normally have the strength to live on with a purpose and believing I am healed!</p>
