User Information

Biography

Hi,
My name is Lori, I have been married second time around for 7 1/2 years. I have three kids and one stepson. Just trying to get my life back together from having Breast Cancer.
I got through treatment and now I’m am getting my life back together. I have survived cancer so far and treatments. I KICKED CANCER’S BUTT!
People around you try to understand how you are feeling when you find out you have cancer but they really can’t unless they have been there.. When you have cancer your mind goes places that other people wouldn’t understand. But it’s only natural and with the help of God & prayers I will keep getting through all of those feelings…
