Kristi blogs Pink Prozac about her
breast cancer survivorship and life. In
2001, on her 31st birthday, she was diagnosed with
breast cancer. The first time she visited her physician about the
lump in her breast, he said she was too young to have
breast cancer. He told her to stop worrying about it. But it kept
bothering her, the lump in her breast, and so, eight months later, she went in and asked the physician to examine the
lump again. After a mammogram and ultrasound, Kristi was told what she feared from the beginning. Kristi had breast
cancer.
Kristi had just started a new job, and she blogs about how her boss and co-workers let her,
"sit there and stare at my computer and cry and constantly look up
breast cancer information on the internet. I
was in a daze and it was very hard to get out of bed every morning. I thought I was definitely going to die." Five
years later, Kristi is a
breast cancer survivorship who is still scared and paranoid, and also very happy.
