Allyssa's Breast Cancer Battle

On Friday, August 21st, Allyssa went in for a breast exam, because she felt a lump in her left breast. The next day, they brought her in for a mammogram; they found 9 masses and quickly scheduled a biopsy for that coming Monday. On Wednesday, August 26th, Allyssa was diagnosed with Stage 2, Grade III breast cancer. It’s been a whirlwind since that day with, MRI/bone/CT scans, meeting with fertility doctors, oncologists and also countless blood work.  On September 14th, she began  18 weeks of intense chemotherapy treatment (one treatment every 3 weeks for over 4 hours), which will be followed by surgery to remove any remaining lumps or she may require a mastectomy.  Allyssa is only 31 and has so much of her life ahead of her. This shocking diagnosis has flipped her entire world upside down and she is now facing a very long, painful and exhausting road ahead.
