About me

Location	Oregon, United States
Introduction	I am a 35 year old woman, mother of two young girls and wife to a loving husband. I was diagnosed with Stage 3c invasive ductal carcinoma on January 13, 2012. I was breast feeding my youngest when she stopped feeding from my left breast. When my breast returned to "normal" I found the lump. My doctor thought it was a blocked milk duct and thought nothing of it. When the lump didn't go away I went and got it checked again. A ultrasound scan and biopsy later I learned of my diagnosis. Current plans: neo-adjunct chemotherapy, surgery, radiation and then reconstruction. Medical center of choice: Oregon Health & Sciences University (OHSU)
