Rosalba Vasquez

Superviviente de cáncer de mama

Hola mi nombre es Rosalba Vazquez. En septiembre del 2022 a mis 51 años después de tomar una ducha, vi por el espejo que tenía un pequeño abultamiento del lado izquierdo de mi seno. Ahí comenzó mi travesía, gracias a Dios tuve y he tenido el apoyo incondicional de mi hija, mi hijo y mi esposo, así como también de mucha gente fuera de mi entorno familiar incluyendo a mi madre y mis dos hermanas las cuales vinieron de otros países para brindarme su apoyo. Una me cuidó después de mi cirugía y la otra me llevaba diariamente a mis radiaciones. Fue algo complicado el camino, pero continué llevando mi vida normal trabajando como siempre lo cual realmente me ayudó a ocupar mi mente manteniéndola positiva y clara, al mismo tiempo investigaba y opté por hacerme una doble mastectomía. Sabía que esta decisión cambiaría algo mi vida, pero siempre de la mano de mi esposo de quien he recibido mucho amor y apoyo. Tuve quimioterapia y radiación y termine mi tratamiento en Agosto 2023.
