I was first diagnosed at age 26 with stage 3c breast cancer while having my son Dylan, fortunately, I had my parents and close friends there for me through my journey. It was not an easy road, having a positive attitude and a support group of family and friends made it easier to get through this terrible disease. I am now in charge of my life. Being positive and doing Zumba twice a week has help keep me on the right track. My advice for anyone going through this is to know your body and be your own advocate.
