Breast Cancer, Divorce, Dating, and my 6 year Cancerversery!

Happy February!
Can you believe that TODAY, six years ago, I heard the words "You have cancer and a lot of it." Six years ago today is also the first day I started to share my story with my very first blog post and purchased the domain name "Killer Left Boob."
My first words: Day 1: KillerLeftBoob….So… apparently my left breast is trying to kill me.
Six years ago, on Valentine's Day, I was researching whether or not I could get a wig made from my own hair and I was in a lot of pain from the biopsies I'd had the day before. It is strange to think of the hopelessness and fear I was facing at that time. As my guest put it, "white picket fence dreams were crumbling down around me." Thankfully, that feeling was temporary. And from "Killer Left Boob," came "Your Killer Life." Because no matter how bad it all was in the moment, in the end, hope and love rose above the heartache, pain, and chaos.
Read on as I introduce my amazing guest, Dorothy Paredes, diagnosed at just 26, and then again at 36, Dorothy and I had a lot to talk about when it came to relationships, love, and enduring through the diagnosis - and the fallout - on our individual paths to reclamation.
