   Megan was diagnosed in June 2011 with Stage 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer with lots of positive nodes. Megan had just finished treatments in March 2012 and followed up with a pet scan. Scan showed mets to sternum nodes. Now Stage 4 as of April 2012 and married almost 3 years, Megan's world was shattered as her dream of being a mother would not be, She was "pissed off" were her exact words.
Mets continued to brain and had radiation on it. Megan also started a clinical trial, Xeloda but the cancer continued to metastasis to her shoulder and arm, then quickly to her lungs and liver. Megan was so excited to finally take her dream honeymoon to Bahamas on June 23rd... that never happened; sadly, Megan passed on June 30, 2012 at the age of 35.
Good bye my dear friend, you found peace.
