One moment you feel good, the next you are extremely sick. The cancer journey is like nothing I have ever experienced in my life. It’s like no other illness. Cancer impacts everything. I’ll spare you the worst details, but I can tell you the illness and pain can be surreal. Bone pain can be unbearable. One day my vision was impaired and one day even my teeth hurt. I’ve given birth to two children so I understand illness and pain, but what I can’t describe is cancer is different.

It was March 17th, St. Patrick’s Day and my grandmother’s birthday. A happy day. It was shaping up to be a fun day at work. We ordered sweet treats for my news team, and I was all set to have a wonderful day. But that all changed in an instant. The phone rang and it was ThedaCare. I knew they were calling with the results of my breast biopsy, but I assumed the call would say everything was fine. I’ve had biopsies before, and they’ve always been fine.
