The Blog Commenting Challenge

CommentChallenge
I’m participating in “The Blog Commenting Challenge” hosted by Jenna’s Journey. Care to  join me? Click the link!

Today, the topic is “All About Me”
If you are new to my blog, welcome! My name is Sandy. I live in a small town in Pennsylvania with my hubby of 20 years, Mike. We have six kids: Michael(19), Brandon(17), Aaron(15), Felicia(8), Madelyn(6), and Stella(2). Oh, and I can’t forget my furry baby, our Chihuahua, Lucy!

I’ve been a stay at home mom since 2007 . Prior to that I worked in a daycare/preschool which I absolutely loved. However, spending lots of time caring for other peoples children and not enjoying all the special moments with my own made my decision to leave my job an easy one. It was the BEST thing I could have done! I love being home with my kids!

In August I received some news that has changed our lives tremendously. I was diagnosed with breast cancer.  By the end of August, I began chemotherapy having my last treatment in December. It was rough, but I made it! I had surgery to remove the mass in my breast and my ovaries  in February and just finished almost six weeks of radiation a few weeks ago. I’m feeling stronger everyday and thank God for giving me the strength to get this far.

Again, welcome! I look forward to getting to know you!

  1. Visting from Jenna's! My grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer early this year. She had the tumor removed and had some radiation and is now cancer free. Good luck on your journey.

  3. Stopping by from Jenna's. I worked in a preschool for 4 years before moving and starting our family. It was definitely a rewarding time, but there is nothing like being home for your kids! :) Good luck as you continue your fight against cancer!

  7. Stopping by from the comment challenge. We have a large family also and I love being a stay at home mom. My prayers are with you as you continue to fight and beat cancer. My grandma had breast cancer and two of my friends have had it just in the last few years and I have watched them battle and win.
