I imagine that if you are visiting our site it is because you or someone very dear to you is going through one of the most difficult journeys that a person can go through; the fight against breast cancer. I know how you feel because I have personally gone through this: denial, anguish, desperation, helplessness.
The fight is not easy but the road can be full of blessings if we decide to see and accept them. I can tell you with all certainty and without any doubt during my fight that I have come to realize the true meaning of the words love and compassion. During my journey I have had the privilege of living them, feeling them and enjoying them in a way that, before beginning my healing process, I simply did not know.
Realizing that I did not fit the typical medical profile of this disease, I decided that if it happened to me, there must be a special reason for it. I have found that reason and you are part of it. If my experience, my work, my fight can help you in these moments of doubt and uncertainty, then my mission is being fulfilled because by getting to know about my personal process you will come to see that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Although cancer is a cruel and devastating disease, one that grows within us and tears us apart, we must fight it with dignity. You are not alone in this fight, we are thousands affected by this each day and until a cure is found, there is hope and light on this most difficult journey.
Mayte.
