Denise McCroskey

I started this Blog on the day of my diagnosis with Stage 3 Triple Positive Cancer. Little did I know within the next 3 years my mom would be diagnosed with Stage 1 Breast Cancer, followed by my only sibling, my sister and best friend with Stage 3 Breast Cancer. I've documented every step along the Breast Cancer path - Mastectomies, Chemotherapy, Radiation, Herceptin, Hormone Therapy, Aromatase Inhibitors, my sister's reconstructive sugery and transition to Cancer Survivors. I want to help others going through this overwhelming and frightening journey. I want to help you and give you hope.
