In November 2011 Tiffany felt a lump a little below her left collar bone.  Being the drama queen that she is, I dismissed it as something unimportant.  Thank God Tiffany took it more seriously and made a doctor appt. to have it looked at.  The family doctor thought it was probably a benign tumor but sent her for an ultrasound.  In December she went for an ultrasound and after looking at those pictures the doctor in charge decided that she should have an MRI.  On December 19th Tiffany had an MRI and it was determined that there were 4 masses that were suspicious.  A biopsy was scheduled for December 28, 2011 and we were blessed with one of the best doctors to have during a biopsy.  At the Heart of Lancaster we had Dr. Stiles who was one of THE MOST compassionate and caring people I've ever encountered.  The biopsy results were in and we scheduled an appointment at the Breast Center in Lancaster and . . . On January 4, 2012 my beautiful daughter of 21 years was diagnosed with Stage 1 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma.  In the months following Tiffany underwent a total left mastectomy, reconstruction of the left breast, radiation and symmetrical reconstruction of the right breast at John's Hopkins Hospital.  That last surgery was November 28, 2012.  At the beginning of 2013 Tiffany woke up one morning with back and hip pain.  She visited our family doctor of 20+ years in February and he prescribed aspirin and sent us home.  After about 3-4 weeks of increasing pain she went to a new family doctor and within a week of tests and an appointment with an oncologist she was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer of the hip, spine and pelvis.  She is being treated this time in our hometown of Lancaster, PA.  Tiffany has been treated with Zometa IV drip and oral Tamoxifen since May 2013.  In July 2014 we were informed that her breast cancer has metasticized to soft tissue . . . her liver.  She will start a chemotherapy treatment of Doxil combined with her Zometa to battle this beast she is yet again facing.  Tiffany continues to be her happy self, enjoying her friends and planning for her wedding in April 18, 2015.  We all hope she will be at a point to be able to cherish and enjoy her special day.   Once again she is faced with the fight of her life, read the journal entries to follow her journey as a 3x cancer survivor at the age of 24 . . .
