I am so humbled by the outstanding support and love! It leaves me breathless. My heart beats of pure love for all of you! My truth, the Gina behind #TeamGina ... Before October 28th, 2018, I thought a “Breast Cancer Survivor" was a woman who had breast cancer and did not die from it. Boy was I wrong! "Survivor" doesn't give justice to what it is we really overcome. It's more than just "not dying" it's about surviving the mental abuse that cancer will put you through, have you questioning and second guessing every decision you once were so sure of. It's about surviving the emotional abuse that too often leaves you feeling crippled, but with no crutches. It’s about surviving while everything you once knew about yourself is being taken by an unseen imposter that confusingly... is You! It's about surviving through every life changing procedure and treatment, some may be painful that at times you forget how to breathe, praying for it to at least lessen just enough to catch your breath, but over time the pain does lessen while little by little strengthening the way that we will view ourselves. Becoming proud to wear our permanent badge of honor that we wear so beautifully and we will become so much more than just our scars. But that won’t happen until we overcome everything we once never thought we could by 'Surviving.' Like going through chemotherapy, having a part of your breast or both removed, dealing with adjuvant therapy for the next 5-10 years to lessen the chance of re-occurrence. Being a survivor is the moment we are handed the pen in which our oncologist gives us and we are told to place our signature on a form (before we are given chemotherapy) stating that we understand all the harsh and crazy side effects we might endure. For me being a breast cancer survivor doesn’t have anything to do with whether I survive or not, it’s the possibility that maybe, just maybe because of the fight in which I'm fighting today and so many other brave men and women, it will give our children of the future a greater possibility to never have to wonder whether they will lose their fight to breast cancer or any cancer for that matter, because we already fought that fight for them. -Gina Stanghellini
