Lorie discovered a lump in her breast while taking a shower. She made an appointment for the following day to have it checked. The end of the week brought bad news as Lorie was diagnosed with breast cancer. Lorie then learned that there was lymph node involvement, metastasis, anaplasia and the cells were no longer breast tissue cells in nature (highly undifferentiated). The cancer then caused Lorie's body to have multiple blood clots, and she had severe pain and abnormal production of several hormones that causes her health to further deteriorate.
