Cancer Sucks

My name is Nikki, I am 26 years old and I am a Breast Cancer Survivor. The word "Cancer"...terrifying, death, hopelessness, fearful and sad. This was how the word Cancer made me feel being 23 years old and diagnosed with Breast Cancer. This word was all to familiar to me losing my mom to Cancer when I was 15, who would have thought after seeing her battle I would soon have one of my own. It’s hard to believe that something as terrifying as “Cancer” could actually change one of my core beliefs; a belief that this disease was only meant to cause pain and tragedy in one’s life. I now walk with hope and gratitude for all of the little things that I use to take for granted. I stand among the many courageous woman diagnosed with Breast Cancer every day. I wanted to share my story and the hope I found through my experience. Something real to laugh with or cry with and the little tricks I found that helped me cope with the symptoms that I experienced. This is my journey....
