My passion is health and fitness. I am a mother to the sweetest 7 year old son, and am married. I work as a registered nurse. Throughout this breast cancer journey, I have really committed to taking the best care of myself. I love to take a long bath, curl up with a book and cook a good meal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mon histoire avec le cancer du sein<\/strong><br \/>\nMy journey went something like this &#8211; I noticed a hard blueberry-sized lump in my left breast in May 2019, when I was 29 years old. Part of me dreaded what it could be, part of me hoped it would disappear. The next month, I saw my doctor about it.<\/p>\n<p>My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 54 (not earlier in life) so I wasn&#8217;t considered high risk. I started with a mammogram and ultrasound. It looked like a simple fibroid and the doctor felt it was reassuring that the mass was mobile. Repeat imaging in 6 months. And again 6 months later. The lump felt a little bigger and more irregular in shape and it was decided I would benefit from an MRI.<\/p>\n<p>We were in the heart of Covid and the MRI department was really backed up. I called weekly to see where I was in the queue, but I was told I had to wait. I was interested in an elective lumpectomy to get the darn thing out of my body, but my surgeon was so backed up with urgent surgeries he couldn&#8217;t fit me in for something elective.<\/p>\n<p>I finally got my MRI and multiple biopsies and I was eventually diagnosed with Stage 1 cancer in January 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Now the size of the tumour compared to my surrounding breast tissue required a total mastectomy. This was really hard to accept. I ended up switching to a more experienced surgeon who I felt really comfortable with. After the mastectomy, I anxiously waited for the pathology results which would determine if I needed chemo. I was lucky to not need it. Clear margins around the tumour determine if you need radiation. I am thankful to my surgeon who got 2 mm margins around the tumour which meant I did not require radiation.<br \/>\nI still struggle with the thoughts of what if&#8230; what if this was caught earlier, what if I didn&#8217;t have to wait so long for an MRI, etc.<\/p>\n<p>For five years I have been prescribed Tamoxifen and Zoladex injections to eliminate estrogen from my body. Then came complete menopause and an assortment of side effects.<\/p>\n<p>I went through the breast reconstruction process with tissue expanders and have recovered from my third surgery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ce que j\u2019aimerais vous dire<\/strong><br \/>\nI would want to tell a woman that it is you who is going to notice a symptom and make that doctor&#8217;s appointment. It is you who must ensure you get the necessary follow up. It is yourself who will get you outside for a walk when it&#8217;s the last thing you feel like doing. Ultimately your own resilience will get you through hardship. We must be our own best advocates and caretakers.<\/p>\n<p>I would also say, there is always something you can do to bring yourself joy and make yourself feel good. On the day after I had surgery, I couldn&#8217;t wash my hair (or have a shower for 3 weeks!!) but I could wash my face, brush my hair, put on some earrings. I could put on clean PJs, make tea, and have a moment in the sunshine.<\/p>\n<p>Cancer patients don&#8217;t always look as they are depicted in the media. I was lucky to not need chemo, so I never lost my hair. Except for maybe the day after surgery, I never looked sick.<br \/>\nYou would never know the struggles I&#8217;ve been through from a passing glance.<br \/>\nThis has given me even more empathy when I go about my days and interact with people. It makes me think, what are other people going through that I might have no idea about?<\/p>\n<p>A breast cancer journey is a marathon and women are in need of support throughout the entire journey.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Camille<br \/>\nDiagnosed at 30 <\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Me I am a 33 year old woman pursuing an intentional, peaceful, joy-filled life.
