July 9th
After getting diagnosed yesterday at MDAnderson, I decided I was not going to hide the fact. I am really scared for my life and for the life of my baby. At the same time, I can not help but to worry how people will look at me with only one breast. They are also going to have to remove a large portion of my back. The back skin and the back muscle will be used to cover the hole where my left breast and chest muscle will have used to have been.
The good news for everyone reading this is that I should be back from the hospital by Monday and able to work from my computer out of my bed. I am a strong willed woman and I plan to heal quickly. The other partners of the company met last night and decided to donate a portion of all the profits to breast cancer research. I cried when I saw that they had placed the pink ribbon on the logo today.
My twitter account, that was initially used for updating on Sta.rtUp.biz, is also going to be used for updates on my battle, which I will win. Please take a moment to sign up to follow me on Twitter and tell your friends about it. I would like to share my story every step of the way.

MDAdnerson has informed me that I will be the 6th pregnant woman in medical history to have a mastectomy. They also told me that there has been less than 100 documented cases of pregnant women with cancer since they started tracking in 1991. I hope that by getting my story out, that I will be able to connect with some of the other 98 or so women that have gone through what I am going through now. This is the only way that I will find answers because the doctors say they can give no answers with so few statistics.
So please share this post with everyone you know. Hopefully, the power of business networking can lead to me finding answers and spreading awareness at the same time. Little did I know that a few weeks ago while watching how Twitter was changing the way we see Iran, that I would be using it to find answers and support in the fight of my life.
My surgery is at 6am Friday morning. I should be able to give a twitter update in the evening or dictate it to a family member to tweet it for me. I want to thank everyone for taking the time to read this and for forwarding this message on to all of your contacts.

Dear Natalie,
While it is hard for me to give you advice or even a word from someone that has gone through what you are about to do. I feel the urge to let you in on a little advice.
Whatever you do, however hard you feel things are...YOU need to be upbeat and positive for you and your baby. As you say future cancer survivor and mom! That is going to be the end result for you to be cancer free and holding your baby in your arms. Just imagine that.
Every morning be excited about what the days brings. In the beginning it will rid you of something that you and your body do not want, so that is something to be thankful for. Then for every day you are getting closer to your delivery, boy do you have a lot to be thankful for!!
Every night, think of ALL the GOOD things that happened during that day! Only good things!!! Look forward to what the next day will bring. Celebrate yours and your babies life every day!
All my best wishes and thoughts. Petra

Hi Natalie,
I'm new here and just read your post. My mom was recently diagnosed with stage 4 inflammatory breast cancer and is currently going through chemo (no talk of surgery yet). She just left MD Anderson yesterday for her 6-wk checkup and all is going well. The cancer seems to have shrunk and by centimeters instead of millimeters. Her breast was sore for months. No one could diagnose it. She, too, was on antibiotics for an infection but for a whole month. Then the doc said as far as he was concerned she was better. Only after a specific request for a biopsy did they find it. Very scary....we're told to feel for lumps and get our mammograms. When nothing shows up, there's just no answer. So, I'm kind of on a mission to spread the word about IBC. Ladies, look for signs of your skin looking like an orange peel. Watch out for that red, painful inflammation. And most importantly, trust your instincts. If someone's telling you you're fine and you don't agree, see someone else. It could be nothing but it also could save your life.
I wanted to write you so badly I didn't even read any further. So I don't know when your baby is/was due or if you've given an update. Regardless, ALL my best to you and your little one.
Andrea Dennis

Dear Natalie,
You are in my thoughts and prayers for a successful surgery, a speedy recovery and the healthy birth of your baby..I recently lost my grandmother to cancer and although she was 86 her passing has left a void in my life and I miss her.
