Its been a year....WOW

Mar 04, 2015

Time flies when your having fun and dropping weight... I lost 160 lbs this year and it literally saved my life. Right before my 1 yr. anniversary in January, I went for my annual check up with my gyn. I had felt a lump but hell... I'm a little lumpy everywhere at this point :-) and didn't think much of it. Turns out I have breast cancer. Surgery is scheduled for next week but the biopsy was very promising with it showing a slow growing/non aggressive form. Upon speaking with the surgeon, I was worried that my hormone levels fluctuating so much this year as I shed the weight somehow caused the cancer. He assured me that the surgery probably saved my life because A- Its a proven fact that obesity raises your risk of breast cancer B- I probably wouldn't have felt the lump if I didn't lose all this weight and c- I'm in much better shape now to take on this new fight... So I'm beyond grateful for the WLS surgery for so many more reasons than I would have ever thought! I'm off to the next fight but my WLS has prepared me for the this and I can't wait to kick cancers ass just like I beat my weight issues. For anyone considering WLS it truly is a lifesaver!
