Statistics... Hmmm, I think I will pass and make my own path!!!

Statistically speaking, the type of breast cancer that I was diagnosed with was found first in 2000, and makes up for less than 0.1% of ALL breast cancers diagnosed!! Statistically speaking, most doctors have never, first hand, seen this type of cancer! Statistically speaking, most doctors would not know what their first step in treatment would be because of the lack of information on this type of Cancer. Statistically speaking, the guess at the 5 year reoccurrence rate for my type of breast cancer is 67%, after treatment. WELL, Statistically speaking can kiss my ass!!!

I am basing my treatment off of, who the F cares that there is not enough evidence to prove this or that or the other! Lets just treat it and get as much of it out as possible! And that is what my doctors did! None of them have ever seen it first hand, and none of them have certainly never treated it, so we did the most aggressive form of surgery possible, because my life is more important that Statistics! We did an aggressive treatment of Chemotherapy following, not knowing if it was truly needed but still aired on the side of caution, because again my life more important that statistics! Every part of my treatment has been a guess from day one to ensure that my life stays more important than the statistics!

My mom has ALWAYS told me I am not normal, getting two different types of cancer before the age of 28, and betting one type twice, and then diagnosed with the rarest form of breast cancer, I truly believe her! lol She always meant it in a loving and kind way, and I have always taken it that way! NOW, my doctors are 100% convinced of this as well! lol It is a running joke that when I come in I am "Walking Murphy's Law"! SO as for statistics they can kiss it, because I will make my own statistic one way or the other! And so far, I am beating it , and making the statistics quiver!

I hope that someday, my weird and not normal journey will help someone else tell the statistics to kiss it! A lot of people are unaware that no matter what type of cancer you have, if it is the rarest or the most diagnosed, each case is still very unique! Each person is unique so even if similar people get the exact same type of cancer, in the exact same spot, with the exact same staging, they could still have different outcomes and treatments! So Statistics are just statistics and NO ONE needs to read into them!

Statistics can kiss it!!! I on the other hand have more important kisses!!!!
