"'Today marks my 11th year cancer-free (cervical cancer). I was 25 years old, with 1 child, and was told that she'd be my only child. I came to terms with that. She will graduate high school this year, go on to college, and be a successful woman. I get to be a part of all of this because I got (and still get) my yearly check-ups.

- I was diagnosed with stage I, HER2 positive breast cancer in June of 2014. Had surgery, 6 rounds of chemo followed by 33 sessions of radiation and a year of herception.

My question is, is it possible to have a reoccurrence so soon after this aggressive treatment? Feeling very low and confused. (click here to answer)
