Hi. My name is Kay and I was first diagnosed with stage II breast cancer at age 28 in 2001. In 2012, at age 39, I learned that the cancer had returned and is now in my bones. In the past two and a half years I have had 4 surgeries, 10 doses of radiation, 8 PET/CT Scans, and been on 3 different medications. The newest medication has brought difficult side effects. Hot flashes, insomnia, severe joint aches and pains. I have adjusted to a "new normal." I live life day to day because that is the only choice I have. I live in constant uncertainty and feel great fear when I think about the future. I am afraid that I won't be here to see my son graduate, have grandchildren, retire with my husband, and travel to the faraway places I have dreamt about all my life. Cancer sucks and there is nothing "pink" about it.
