Breastfeeding and Breast Cancer Blog

From breastfeeding to being diagnosed with breast cancer and then back to breastfeeding. This is an account of my experiences.

5 Years!

I'm thrilled to make it to five years since being diagnosed with breast cancer.  I have three amazing children and a still wonderful husband.  Hitting two years and planning a pregnancy was pretty special, but five years tops it.  In addition I will celebrate my 40th birthday later this year and I am excited about making it to that milestone as well.  

Life is good all around.  Around here we still know how to have fun and exercise.  I even teach hoop fitness classes once a week.  Staying connected with women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer has been nice for me too.  I stay connected on-line and meet newly diagnosed women locally as well.  Volunteering my time supporting and providing information to breastfeeding mothers still is good too.  I wasn't sure at one point if it would be too hard for me, but I'm glad I stuck with it and am thrilled to be a breastfeeding mother again.
