My first high risk doctor told me to terminate my pregnancy, but instead, I fought harder; guided by my amazing oncologist and my new high risk OB who told me we are going to beat this. I underwent four rounds of chemo.

It was November 2007. I was 32 years old and in my second trimester carrying my second child. I was on a family vacation in Disney World when I discovered a lump. When I got home I went to my OB and had thought I drank to much caffeine, but after a mammogram and a biopsy I heard the worst possible news...YOU HAVE BREAST CANCER!!!

On April 21st, 2008 my beautiful miracle Conner Jayden Bignell was born healthy at 7lbs 6oz. After having him, I faced 12 more rounds of chemo.

I was given a clean bill of health in July 2008 and in March 2009 I had reconstruction. I am so blessed to have joined this amazing Krewe and sisterhood that we have. I have met some of the strongest women on the planet and have formed lifelong friendships!
