breast cancer survivor maria siniscalchi

I was diagnosed on...
"April 2006."

My immediate reaction was...
"That my young kids were going to grow up without a mother, just like I had to after my mom lost her battle with breast cancer."

Now, breast cancer means to me...
"Just another lump in the road. My life is amazing, and I’m raising my children one day at a time."

I'd tell someone recently diagnosed with breast cancer...
"This is just a detour. Slow down. Listen to your body and your doctors, and do what you gotta do to get through it."

I'm inspired by...
"Being able to help other women get through this experience."

I'm pretty fantastic at...
"Finding a silver lining, no matter what the day brings."

The people that keep me strong are...
"My family."

I get stressed out by...
"Blood work and raising teenagers."

I unwind by...
"Gardening and spending quiet time alone in my yard."

If I were to stand in the middle of the street and scream something, it would be...
"I hate that cancer took my mom's life so many years ago, but I'm still here!"

I first felt comfortable in my own skin when...
"I wore my first strapless bathing suit, complete with perky boobs, after I had my reconstruction. That is, until I realized that I had no feeling in my breasts, and if the top slid down I would never know it!"

Tomorrow will...
"Always bring a new day with new beginnings, new challenges, new friends, and a new appreciation for what we had in our lives yesterday."

Breast cancer is...
"A devastating time in your life, but knowledge is power."
