I'll Go Down As A Fighter

Laticia's Brief And Powerful Reflection, Living With Stage 3 Breast Cancer

There is no remission for me since the cancer is present in my body and traveling through my lymphatic circulatory system. At some point it will attack one of my vital organs. I’m having a lot of difficulties paying my medical expenses, therapy that helps mobility issues due to lymphedema, and home care. My bones are also being affected.


My inclination is to live a nice, rest of my life, as comfortably as possible, rather than suffering nausea and all the side effects of chemo and radiation.


I’ve had a wonderful life and praise God for all his/her many gifts and the opportunity to share some of these with all the wonderful people whose paths have crossed mine throughout the years.


I’ll go down a fighter as I have always been, defending myself and the dignity and rights of those who could not speak for themselves.


Thank you for sharing your story, Laticia. We love you.
