New Mom’s Personal Story About Breast Cancer
Maggie Hesse was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer just weeks after her son, Joshua, was born. Read her touching story.
Everything That I Never Knew I Always Wanted
On Tuesday, August 22, 2006, I was diagnosed with locally advanced breast cancer with inflammatory features (stage 3 breast cancer). I had quit my job to be a stay-at-home mom a month before Joshua was born and had been dreaming about what my new daily job would be like. I never imagined that my days would soon be filled with hospitals, medicine, tons of sleep and tons of help at home — and all for me and not the baby. My tumor is the size of a baseball, so it is inoperable. I did get some “good” news; there were no other tumors — the cancer had not spread.
