Did I know that after having breast cancer at 41 yrs old that my life would be changed forever? Yes...but in the positive ways it has?..No.. I am a 2004 rider from Changing Gears returning this year for yet another adventure of a lifetime. Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever seen myself doing the things I do now because of breast cancer. Cancer is such a devastating disease but yet can bring such good things to your life. That is how I have chosen to look at my experience. It has been almost 4 yrs since that day I heard, “The biopsy was positive." From that day my life has been forever changed. My relationships with my family have grown....my friendships are deeper...my attitude on life has taken a new turn. I have met some of the most amazing women that have become lifelong friends that I will treasure forever. I live for the moment but yet I look to the future...a future of taking chances, doing those things that I really want to do. I thank so many for these changes...a very supportive husband who has stood by my side in every decision I've had to make...loving children whom I adore....my dear friends who never let me walk alone...my sisters who are always there for me no matter what...but most of all...my parents....for raising me to see who I really am. My Mom is the reason I take the chances, the reason I ride...because of her I own a Harley!! Every time I ride, I see her face, feel her touch & hear her voice telling me how proud she is of me, how she is right there with me...feeling the wind & the freedom. I look forward to showing other survivors that we are truly warriors that can conquer anything we choose to. I have proven that to myself & want to share that your life can be full, it can have good outcomes from cancer...look at me now!
