On this day, 10 years ago I received my first treatment of radiation and chemotherapy. Today I'm writing to celebrate my survival! I'm writing with gratitude and a joyful heart because in the last decade, God had shown me how He makes the impossible possible. The last 10 years have been marked by some personally crippling, even devastating, days, but the day I was diagnosed with breast cancer is still the worst. God has led me through those crises by placing some exceptional people in my life.

As it's late in the night, I will give a quick run down of what I have to be thankful today. I have an adorable 7-year-old boy, who was naturally conceived 2 years and 2 months after my first chemotherapy infusion. My husband and I are still married and are working to make our marriage better. And yes, that is a miracle.  :D I am in good health still and am now in my 40s!

I took a new genetic test a couple months ago from Ambry Genetics, which tested 25 genes in their OvaNext panel. There were no alterations that affected the function of those genes, except possibly one. There was 1 variant of unknown significance,  but I was told that in perhaps 5 years, the variant would be confirmed in its significance.

More later!
